It is not easy to provide an empirical answer to these questions because it was not until the mid-nineteenth century that the volume of world trade, encompassing trading activities in all the continents, began to be captured with some degree of accuracy.

Conventional views of international economic history emphasise the sequence of events that began with the Industrial Revolution in England,2 including the expansion of ‘industrialisation-oriented trade’ in Western Europe. This was based primarily on the exchange between manufactured goods and primary commodities, which then led to the advent of the transportation and communication revolutions that spread this trade pattern around the world. Subscribers to these views would insist that even if Asian trade in the first half of the nineteenth century was considerable and expanded throughout the long nineteenth century, this fact in itself would not call for a revision of the understanding that the regimes of free trade and industrialisation-oriented trade were established primarily in Europe.
