The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger

byMarc Levinson

Focused on how the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger, The Box brings Marc Levinson's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the wider field of business & economics. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
