The division of the world into rich and poor paralleled the division of the world into coffee drinkers, overwhelmingly concentrated in the industrialized global north, and coffee workers, even more concentrated in the predominantly agricultural and perpetually “developing” global south.

 

세상을 부자와 가난한 자로 나누는 것은 산업화된 북반구에 압도적으로 집중되어 있는 커피를 마시는 사람들과 대부분 농업에 기반을 두고 끊임없이 ‘개발 중에 있는’ 남반구에 훨씬 더 집중되어 있는 커피 농장에서 일하는 사람들로 세상을 나눈 것과 유사했다. 

 

As the most valuable agricultural product of the world’s poorest regions, coffee has played a central role in shaping this divide.

 

세계의 가장 가난한 지역의 가장 값비싼 농산물로서 커피는 이러한 구분을 형성하는 데 중심적인 역할을 해 왔다. 

 

In the last 150 years, coffee has become an exceptionally valuable commodity—exports are now worth over $25 billion a year, and retail sales many times more — that is a virtual monopoly of the world’s poorest nations.

 

지난 150년간 커피는 대단히 값비싼, 세계의 가장 가난한 나라들의 사실상 독점 상품이었는데, 현재 커피 수출액은 연간 250억 달러가 넘고, 소매 매출은 그보다 몇 배나 더 많다.

 

Coffee is not just one of the most important commodities in the history of global capitalism, as is commonly claimed — it is one of the most important commodities in the history of global inequality.

커피는 흔히 사람들이 주장하는 것처럼 세계 자본주의의 역사에 있어서 가장 중요한 상품 중 하나에 불과한 것이 아니라, 세계의 불평등의 역사에 있어서 가장 중요한 상품 중 하나이다.
