Mughal kings were the richest in the world during their times. Tracking the 'Silk Route' and 'Opium Wars' will help one understand the trade routes into China and its importance in the world.<br /><br />I would suggest to read general history and not just economical history to get a better perspective of the past. 'Glimpses of World History' by Nehru helped me to get a panoramic view of the past and 'Rivals' by Bill Emmott to develop a view about the future. 'Why Nations Fail' by Daron and Robinson is one massive book which shows how economic development of a country is influenced by the choices its people made.Anand Maraladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11046900443858048530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668675501605319424.post-71270879514340647642015-06-13T14:10:57.951+05:302015-06-13T14:10:57.951+05:30Well articulated in a compact post.
