Investigate for yourself the mechanisms of global trade

Seth Dixon‘s insight:

This more clearly shows the regional restructuring of the global economy than just about anything I’ve ever seen, especially manufacturing.  The 8 largest and busiets ports in the world are all in East or Southeast Asia (and 11 of the top 13).  A quick glance at the historical charts will show that most of these were relatively minor ports that have exploded in the last 20 years.
