Buying and selling each day in connected to the global market around the world, comes together. Global market is even present today because everyday million of people buy their goods in their daily bases.

Trading a common goods is the part of the human experience from long time ago. In societies people give more value to hierarchical societies. For example, if you buy tow pair of pants and one made in china and another made in France. On this two pants there will be a price different because of quality and the social economic system of the nation.

Country like England and France have money and labor and natural resources of other societies. For exampled, the early century Great British and some European country colonize different parts of the world and they use labors, but they talk all the products to their country and take all the profit. That is the main reason why the north western Europe become the powerful and wealthy ( Core ) country and Africa, Asia, and the America were periphery countries.

From seventeen century, people started using coffee  tea, cocoa, tobacco, and sugar from far distances and that was the time it become very popular.
