Book Title
Hinterlands and Commodities: Place, Space, Time and the Political Economic Development of Asia over the Long Eighteenth Century
Editor(s)
Tsukasa Mizushima, George Bryan Souza, and Dennis O. Flynn
Description
Trade histories normally focus on exports/imports between port cities, yet actual trade is (and always has been) far more complex than mere bilateral coast-to-coast exchange. While a particular hinterland may indeed produce a negligible proportion of a particular item, it is sometimes the case that combined hinterland output dominates. By the same token, relatively little of a commodity may end up in a single hinterland location, yet hinterland end-markets combined can dominate. Historical neglect of hinterlands is at least partly due to inadequacies inherent in conventional supply and demand concepts at the foundational building-blocks level of economic theory.
