The book explores the transformative impact of containerization on the shipping industry and the global economy since the 1950s. It highlights how major shipping companies have engaged in mergers and formed mega-alliances to dominate the market, leading to an oligopolistic landscape where a few entities control 80% of container shipping. This concentration has prompted regulatory scrutiny and underscores the geopolitical significance of maritime trade, aligning with Alfred Mahan's theories on naval dominance and economic power.
