Synopsis

This book chronicles the proceedings of the first meeting of international representatives from master cotton spinners and manufacturers associations. Held in Zurich in 1904, the conference grappled with a looming cotton shortage that threatened the livelihoods of millions in the cotton industry. The author presents an overview of the global cotton trade at the turn of the 20th century, with a focus on the near monopoly America held over the global supply of cotton. The book also explores the impact this had on the livelihoods of those working in the cotton industry across the globe. The book concludes with a discussion of the complex social, economic, and political factors that contributed to the crisis, and the ways in which the delegates sought to resolve the difficulties facing the cotton industry.
