How Standardized Time Zones Unified Global Commerce
We trace the economic logic behind global time standardization, starting with the chaotic pre-1884 railway schedules that confused passengers and delayed cargo. Lucas explains how the Greenwich Prime Meridian wasn't just a geographic line but a financial necessity, while Luna explores how this synchronization reduced friction in international trade. We look at the specific case of Canadian Pacific Railway's scheduling efficiency gains and how unified clocks enabled the modern twenty-four-hour economy.
