When the king was not busy enforcing his power among the people, he was spreadingſit
internationally through trade. At its peak, Ghana was chiefly bartering gold, ivory, and
slaves for salt from Arabs and horses, cloth, swords, and books from North Africans and
European
As salt was worth its weight in gold, and gold was so abundant in the kingdom, Ghana
achieved much of its wealth through trade with the Arabs. Islamic merchants traveled
over two months through the desert to reach Ghana and "do business." They were
taxed for both what they brought in and what they took out.
With this system, it is no wonder that Ghana got rich quickly. The wealth that the
kingdom acquired did not, however, serve in its favor forever. Competition from other
states in the gold trade eventually took its toll.
