What if the story of the modern world is more complex than we have been led to believe?In 1492, the voyages of Christopher Columbus marked a turning point in global history-one that reshaped economic systems, political structures, and patterns of inequality that continue to influence the world today.Christopher Columbus and the Origins of Global Inequality: The Economic Architecture of Colonialism and Racial Capitalism offers a critical historical and economic analysis of how early European expansion contributed to the development of global disparities in wealth and power. Drawing on historical records and interdisciplinary research, Samuel M. Goldstein examines the structural foundations of colonial systems and their lasting impact.The book explores the complexity and sophistication of pre-colonial African civilizations, highlighting major empires such as Mali under Mansa Musa, the intellectual achievements of Timbuktu, and advancements in science, trade, and governance across the continent. It contrasts these developments with the economic transformations that followed transatlantic expansion, providing a broader context for understanding global history.Through a detailed examination of trade systems, labor structures, and evolving economic ideologies, this work connects historical developments to contemporary global inequalities. It considers how long-standing institutional patterns have shaped modern economic relationships, social outcomes, and international disparities.Rather than presenting history as a closed chapter, this book invites readers to consider its ongoing relevance. It is intended for readers interested in history, political economy, and global development, offering a structured and analytical perspective on the origins of modern inequality
