    Let me break it down for you.

    See, Britain was pissed off with the lack of Americans paying taxes. So they started cracking down on smugglers and enforcing taxes on products (since no one was paying income tax). Certain tea smugglers got pissed that they were being "dealt with", yadda yadda shit got real.

    In summation, global economics is old as fuck.

    Hell it's the whole reason the western hemisphere was even settled in the first place.
    Globalization means that what affects people in Australia affects people at the other end of the world. The economy was not all encompassing as it is now.

    The East India Trading company wasn't one of the biggest driving forces of every country's economy in the 1600's? The Hudson Bay Company wasn't Canada's/Norther US' entire economy for fucking ever? WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED?
