The Nineteenth Century (1815-1914)
The 19th century witnessed profound global changes driven by economic, political,
social, cultural, and technological factors. Economists identify three key international
exchanges: trade in goods, labor migration, and capital movement. These interwoven
flows deeply impacted people's lives, although labor migration often faced more
restrictions compared to goods and capital flows. Understanding these three together
offers insights into the 19th-century world economy.
