Dieses Buch bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über die vormoderne Wirtschaftsgeschichte Zentralasiens und der Seidenstraße, die mehrere Jahrtausende umfasst. Durch die Analyse einer Fülle von Quellen und Materialien veranschaulicht es die wiederholten wirtschaftlichen Blütezeiten der Seidenstraße, in denen sie über viele Jahrhunderte Orient und Okzident verband. Nomadische Steppenreiche beherrschten häufig Zentralasien, prägten dessen Wirtschaft und beeinflussten den Handel entlang der Seidenstraße. Das Buch untersucht die Ursachen und Auswirkungen des weitreichenden Booms des Überlandhandels und erörtert gleichzeitig verschiedene interne und externe Faktoren, die zum allmählichen wirtschaftlichen Niedergang Zentralasiens und letztlichzum Ende der Seidenstraße führten. Schließlich wird erläutert, wie der wirtschaftliche Niedergang zum chinesischen und russischen Kolonialismus im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert beitrug. Detaillierte Informationen, z.B. über den Verlauf derSeidenstraße in den verschiedenen Epochen, werden in Form zahlreicher neu erstellter Karten angeboten.
