大交流
在《大交流：伍秉鑑的怡和行與十九世紀的全球貿易》中，王迪安通過清代十三行行商伍秉鑑的視角，探討了廣州體制下的貿易網絡如何塑造現代商業世界。當時，伍秉鑑的貿易網絡和金融聯繫從中國延伸至印度、美國和英國。這一時期的中國商人往往被視為西方重商主義崛起與中國抑商傳統觀念的受害者，但伍秉鑑並非如此。他早在西方世界秩序確立前的跨國交流中，就成功地在自身商業利益與中國及西方同行的利益之間取得了複雜的平衡。當今的政治勢力不斷相互制衡，以西方為中心的世界體系越來越難以維持，國際商人動態需適應一個中國再次佔據舞台中心的新世界秩序。伍秉鑑的怡和行在十九世紀早期流動的背景下成功部署商業網絡，對我們來說仍然饒有啟示。
