At the same time, the influence of coffee itself on the rise of capitalism and its institutions has been enormous. Revolutions have been hatched in coffee houses, commercial alliances forged, secret societies formed, and politics and art endlessly debated. Tony Wild, coffee trader and historian, uncovers the intricate web of connections which coffee has woven in its five-hundred year history, linking alchemy and anthropology, poetry and politics, and science and slavery." "Coffee is still arguably the most valuable legally traded commodity in the world after oil, but now the counties producing it are in crisis because world coffee prices are at a historic low. Unprecedented unemployment, abandoned farms, enforced migration and massive social disruption are the result. Coffee: A Dark History bridges the gap between coffee's dismal colonial past and its perilous corporate present, and reveals the shocking exploitation that has always lurked at the heart of the industry."--BOOK JACKET.
