Empire of Cotton - Sven Beckert

Sub-title: A Global History

This was recommended to me by a book club friend as an interesting overview of how the commodity, cotton, drove the development of the world.  I only got through the first 100 pages before I gave up.  I agree it would be a good read but the writing is tedious and frankly boring.
