About this ebook

Coffee Expansion explores the remarkable journey of coffee, transforming from a regional custom to a global commodity that profoundly shaped economies and cultures.
Delving into economic history, the book reveals how coffee's expansion intertwines with globalization, colonialism, and commodity exchange.
One intriguing aspect is how specific historical conditions, such as the rise of mercantile empires, propelled coffee's global spread, influencing social practices and political landscapes across continents.
The book uniquely integrates historical analysis with economic and cultural insights, making it valuable for those interested in understanding the forces behind global commodities.

The book examines historical pathways of coffee cultivation and trade, the economic structures facilitating its distribution, and the cultural adaptations surrounding its consumption.
It reveals that coffee's trajectory is not merely about consumer demand but a complex interplay of economic incentives, political power, and cultural exchange.
For instance, the establishment of coffee plantations by European colonial powers significantly altered landscapes and economies.

Progressing across three sections, the book starts with coffee's origins, then analyzes colonial expansion, and concludes with the modern coffee industry, addressing ethical considerations and sustainability.
