The Columbian Exchange: A History of Disease, Food, and Ideas
概述了1492年后新旧大陆之间疾病、食物和知识交流的长期影响，特别关注对旧大陆的作用，弥补了经济学研究中的空白。
This paper provides an overview of the long-term impacts of the Columbian Exchange—that is, the exchange of diseases, ideas, food crops, technologies, populations, and cultures between the New World and the Old World after Christopher Columbus' voyage to the Americas in 1492. We focus on the aspects of the exchange that have been most neglected by economic studies; namely the transfer of diseases, food crops, and knowledge between the two Worlds. We pay particular attention to the effects of the exchange on the Old World.
