This article provides an overview of economic globalization in the modern period. It includes an overview of the main phases of the history of globalization, as well as of radical structural breaks. It also discusses important topics such as the reasons for the growth of European long-distance trade in the Early Modern period, the customary explanations for the so-called first wave of globalization in the middle decades of the 19th century, and the reasons for the emergence of the so-called "Third World". Additionally, the article discusses endogenous factors leading to the end of the first phase of globalization in the first third of the 20th century, the global economic aspects of the global economic crisis of 1929–1932, as well as the reasons why the Bretton Woods system (1944/1958–1973) was ultimately short-lived.
