Globalization before Its Time
Author: Chhaya Goswami
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 9385890700
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
How did the Kachchhi traders build on the Gujarat Advantage? In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, during the dying days of the Mughal empire, merchants from Kachchh established a flourishing overseas trade. Building on a rich legacy of free trade in pre-modern times between the many ports of Gujarat and the Middle East, the Kachchhis dealt in pearls, dates, spices and ivory with the faraway lands of Muscat and Zanzibar. The Kachchhi merchants behaved much like today’s venture capitalists. They knew how to grow capital, seek new markets, and create them where they didn’t exist. They also had a phenomenal risk appetite. What they were able to practise was nothing less than the traits of globalization before its time. This new book in The Story of Indian Business series tells their fascinating story.

The United States and the Gulf
Author: Joseph Wright Twinam
Publisher: Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research
ISBN:
Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 12
Book Description
Joseph Twinam offers an intriguing historical analysis of Washington's deep-rooted relationships with the GCC states and pre-revolutionary Iran. On a positive note, the development of US interests in GCC states has been truly remarkable. But among the Gulf littoral countries, only a quarter of the people live in GCC states. The overwhelming majority are in two countries with which American relations are wretched and prospects for their improvement are bleak. Twinam stresses that the uncertain future of Iraq certainly raises an enormous question mark over the future of American relations with the Gulf. Iran, in Twinam's opinion, is perhaps more predictable since the theocracy appears fully entrenched. The result of the May 1997 elections raised the hope that Iranians may come to enjoy somewhat more tolerant leadership, although the author believes it offers no serious encouragement for improved US-Iranian relations. Moreover, Twinam believes that anti-Americanism has become so deeply entrenched in Iran's relatively young population that it may remain part of the political psyche for decades to come.
