From Silk to Silicon: The Story of Globalization Through Ten Extraordinary Lives is a work of narrative economic history by Jeffrey E. Garten, a former Yale School of Management dean and policy official. The book explains globalization not as a single modern phenomenon, but as a long sequence of expansions in trade, finance, technology, political power, and institutional design. Garten organizes this history around ten influential figures, including Genghis Khan, Prince Henry the Navigator, Robert Clive, Mayer Amschel Rothschild, Cyrus Field, John D. Rockefeller, Jean Monnet, Margaret Thatcher, Deng Xiaoping, and Andrew Grove. Through these lives, he shows how individuals can accelerate global integration by opening routes, building networks, financing exchange, reshaping states, or commercializing new technologies. The book belongs to the intersection of biography, business history, and international political economy. Its purpose is to make the evolution of the global economy concrete by connecting large structural changes to decisions made by specific leaders operating within their own historical constraints.
