Coffee: A Dark History Wild AntonyPaperback
Coffee trader and historian Antony Wild delivers a rollicking history of the most valuable legally traded commodity in the world after oil--an industry that employs 100 million people throughout the world. Through the centuries, the influence of coffee on the rise of capitalism and its institutions has been enormous. From obscure beginnings in east Africa in the fifteenth century as a stimulant in religious devotion, coffee became an imperial commodity, produced by poor tropical countries and consumed by rich temperate ones.
Today, while coffee chains spread like wildfire, coffee-producing countries are in crisis: with prices at a historic low, they are plagued by unprecedented unemployment, abandoned farms, enforced migration, and Revolutions were once hatched in coffeehouses, commercial alliances were forged, secret societies were formed, and politics and art were endlessly debated.
