História económica e as plantas e os frutos

Em An economic history of vegetables – Chris Blattman fala-se do tomate e da sua história - interessante -, e dá-se conta de um trabalho, não menos interessante - e de como obter o seu download - "The Columbian Exchange: A History of Disease, Food and Ideas" de Nathan Nunn e Nancy Qian. Abaixo a transcrição da descrição do seu conteúdo:
"In the following section, we begin by examining the most devastating and unfortunate impacts of the Columbian Exchange, which arose from the exchange of disease between the Old and New Worlds. In section 3, we examine the effects of the exchange that resulted from the transfer of foods between the New and Old Worlds. In section 4, we turn to the indirect consequences of the Exchange on Africa and Asia. Section 5 concludes."
