Zusammenfassung:	The discovery of a route East across the Pacific in the 16th century was a vital catalyst for the integration of our world. The "Ruta de la Plata" or "Silver Way" connected Asia and especially China with Spanish America. Gordon and Morales del Pino show how it furthered economic and cultural exchange, and built the foundations for the first global currency and led to the rise of the first 'world city'. And yet, for all its importance, the Silver Way is too often neglected in conventional narratives on the birth of globalisation. Gordon and Morales re-establish its fascinating role in economic and cultural history, with direct consequences for how we understand China today
