图书描述

In April 1956, a refitted oil tanker carried fifty-eight shipping containers from Newark to Houston. From that modest beginning, container shipping developed into a huge industry that made the boom in global trade possible. The Box tells the dramatic story of the container's creation, the decade of struggle before it was widely adopted, and the sweeping economic consequences of the sharp fall in transportation costs that containerization brought about.</p>

Published on the fiftieth anniversary of the first container voyage, this is the first comprehensive history of the shipping container. It recounts how the drive and imagination of an iconoclastic entrepreneur, Malcom McLean, turned containerization from an impractical idea into a massive industry that slashed the cost of transporting goods around the world.</p>

But the container didn't just happen. Its adoption required huge sums of money, both from private investors and from ports that aspired to be on the leading edge of a new technology. It required years of high-stakes bargaining with two of the titans of organized labor, Harry Bridges and Teddy Gleason, as well as delicate negotiations on standards that made it possible for almost any container to travel on any truck or train or ship. Ultimately, it took McLean's success in supplying U.S. forces in Vietnam to persuade the world of the container's potential.</p>

Drawing on previously neglected sources, economist Marc Levinson shows how the container transformed economic geography, devastating traditional ports such as New York and London and fueling the growth of previously obscure ones, such as Oakland. By making shipping so cheap that industry could locate factories far from its customers, the container paved the way for Asia to become the world's workshop and brought consumers a previously unimaginable variety of low-cost products from around the globe.</p>

一章一章慢慢读完的,读起来觉得很有意思,但也说不清楚是什么,至少我知道,现在再在路上看到集中箱,我心里再也不会只把那想成一个大箱子了。。。

A great book introducing the container history; more importantly, providing an overview of globlization although I wish it contains future perspective.

集装箱在我这外行看来,本来就如此。本书则详细考证其发展历程。可惜的是有一些资料随着纽约港务局在911中被毁而消失了。 五六十年代的美国,运输业创新者麦克莱恩想到了集装箱运货的主意(他不是第一人),但是他要面对的阻止生产力提高的三大因素:政府的管制、行业协会的垄...
