Book about history of the modern shipping container.

[modeltrains]

Finally got around to getting this book about history of the modern shipping container.
Procrastinated for so long it is now a new edition with an additional chapter!
Arrived several days ago.
Have read first several chapters and scattered bits throughout.

Looks like the change to standardized containerized shipping had a profound effect on both the structure of societies and the global economy.
As in it allowed there to be a global economy.

Yep, I read that a couple of years ago; fascinating.

We use them pretty often where I work. They seem to have a big effect on the economy even after they’re done shipping things.
