      abstract = {This book explores the functioning of coal markets and  their influence on ports and maritime economics since the  second half of the nineteenth century. Each chapter  includes case studies from different parts of the world,  explaining the role played by coal in the expansion of the  shipping industry. This book also explores regions usually  neglected by the mainstream scholarly literature in this  field. The relationship between steam engine technology and  imperial expansion, how the emergence of global security  was driven by maritime technological revolutions, and the  connection between global seaports and the spread of global  economic and political systems are also discussed. This  book aims to highlight the important role seaports and fuel  markets played in the evolution of international commercial  flows and activities. Fuelling the World Economy will be  useful for historians, economists, and geographers  interested in maritime and energy issues, as well as  researchers interested in transport and technology. Daniel  Castillo Hidalgo is Associate Professor of Economic History  at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, and  is widely published on economic and maritime history. He is  editor of African Seaports and Maritime Economics in  Historical Perspective. Cezar Honorato is Full Professor of  Social and Economic History at the University Federal  Fluminense, Brazil. He is author of books, chapter in  books, and articles in journals of maritime, economic,  social, transport and Latin America history.},
