Trade has been an important commodity since the settlement of mankind. Trade routes as the Silk Road, Turquoise Road, and Gold Road have connected communities and countries throughout the continents. Trading doesn’t always involve commodities; trading can include technology, disease, and religion. Early global trade experienced wealth and prosperity because of the demand for goods, knowledge of the sellers, and expanding trade routes. When it comes to trading, supply and demand are a key factor, as seen in Document 1, trade routes reach worldwide.

The tendency of communities to specialize in some phase of economic activity made it necessary that they maintain commercial contact with other communities and countries in order to secure the things that they did not produce (Hope 16). Some villages, for example, specialized in fishing, others concentrated on metallurgy, while others made weapons, utensils, and so on. Traders traveled from place to place to barter and to purchase. Upon returning they were laden with goods that they sold within their own community (Hope 17).

Life Along the Silk Road by Susan Whitfield elaborates on the idea of life and trade on the Silk Road from different perspectives. Each perspective sheds new light on what exactly the experience of the Silk Road is like and what it has to offer for different people. It is known that the Silk Road is not one physical road made of silk, but instead it is an idea of free trade and growth of many sorts. The Silk Road allows people to expand their physical living boundaries, their ideas of technology, and their economic standing. Physically many people have unspoken boundaries that limit their exploration of the land around them, but with the development of the Silk Road, those boundaries are being pushed in order to obtain valuable resources or goods to trade. With the expansion of the Silk Road, on land and on water, there is also many opportunities for technological advances. Many discoveries allow for faster and more efficient travel and trade on both land and water. With the rapid increase in trade due to the rise of the Silk Road, many city-states have the opportunity to grow economically. Mass exports and an increase in imports allows for the city-states to increase their financial earnings in a briefer time period. Throughout Whitfield’s book, she tells the stories of a merchant, a soldier, and a princess, as they all separately travel the Silk Road, years apart from one another. Each person has a different story and reason for traveling the silk road and yet all of

The kauri trade (which started following the initial logging of kauri timber, through the use of kauri gum for creating varnish and linoleum, all the way to its demise in the 1970s when the tree became protected), is a very significant historical event to New Zealand as a whole, but particularly in the Auckland region. It is significant in the way that it provided economic prosperity to the rapidly developing Auckland region through export earning and the large workforce that the trade required, also in the way that the cooperative nature of the kauri trade created a sort of male dominated work culture which to this day is viewed controversially to different historians, and finally due to the fact that the trade (particularly in kauri gum digging) saw a large population of dalmatians travelling all the way to New Zealand to work, and after the trade playing an important part in the New Zealand viticulture industry.
