PDF-[DOWNLOAD]-The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy

In April 1956 a refitted oil tanker carried fiftyeight shipping containers from Newark to Houston From that modest beginning container shipping developed into a huge industry that made the boom in global trade possible The Box tells the dramatic story of the containers creation the decade of struggle before it was widely adopted and the sweeping economic consequences of the sharp fall in transportation costs that containerization brought about Published on the fiftieth anniversary of the first container voyage this is the first comprehensive history of the shipping container It recounts how the drive and imagination of an iconoclastic entrepreneur Malcom McLean turned containerization from an impractical idea into a massive industry that slashed the cost of transporting goods around the world and made the boom in global trade possible But the container didnt just happen Its adoption required huge sums of money both from private investors and from ports that aspired to be on the leading edge of a new technology It required years of highstakes bargaining with two of the titans of organized labor Harry Bridges and Teddy Gleason as well as delicate negotiations on standards that made it possible for almost any container to travel on any truck or train or ship Ultimately it took McLeans success in supplying US forces in Vietnam to persuade the world of the containers potential Drawing on previously neglected sources economist Marc Levinson shows how the container transformed economic geography devastating traditional ports such as New York and London and fueling the growth of previously obscure ones such as Oakland By making shipping so cheap that industry could locate factories far from its customers the container paved the way for Asia to become the worlds workshop and brought consumers a previously unimaginable variety of lowcost products from around the globe. 3 blank CHAPTE DIFFIDENCE 176 CHAPTE 179 CHAPTE 181 a is .
