Central Asia and the Silk Road

Economic Rise and Decline over Several Millennia

More about the book

Focusing on the economic history of Central Asia and the Silk Road, the book examines several millennia of trade dynamics, highlighting periods of prosperity and decline. It explores the influence of nomadic steppe empires on the region's economy and the factors contributing to trade booms and eventual downturns. The analysis includes the impact of these declines on the rise of Chinese and Russian colonialism in the 18th and 19th centuries. Enhanced with newly drafted maps, the text provides detailed insights into the Silk Road's evolving routes across different epochs.
