Looking at capital markets, trade, and mass migration, this lecture answered the following questions: "When did the world go global?", "What caused the world trade boom in the three centuries after Columbus?", "What caused the world trade boom over the First Global Century 1820-1913?", and "What caused the early-mid 19th century leap to mass migration?"
