Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. with great relief i admit i was wrong, wrong, wrong; no idea what possessed amin-grieving me to dismiss this in late 2018 besides my general emotional turmoil, accompanying compulsive literary inhalation, and slightly too-dogmatic hold to certain readings of history. phenomenal that this is so clear while so dense; certainly there's little new to me but i'm grateful that it cleaned out my desk drawer and sharpened all my tools, so to speak. highly-recommended both as an introduction and as a defragmentation. ( ) Amazingly concise. I'm hooked. I want to read more. I picked it up after reading "Industrial Society and Its Future". I wasn't aware this was a field of study. I understand it may be a post-fact narrative that fits but doesn't predict or explain the world correctly but I want the tools and want to hear the views. I loved him, then I hated him, then I loved him again, then I hated him again - and then I forgave him our differences and settled in to enjoy his easy, useful and even fun high-level overview of the past 500 years of human history. After reading Galeano earlier this year (and E.M. Wood last year), probably the most interesting bit for me was his description of a permanent state of the world system, regardless of innovation cycles: western/core economies are constructed around firms with pricing power (he just calls then monopolies) and global south/ peripheral economies are constructed around firms in more commoditised sectors without global pricing power. An attempt at viewing the entire planet as one giant capitalistic machine through the eyes of a historian & sociologist. His views are marxist so he sees things from a very socialistic perspective. A bit too socialist for my tastes. It's a strong stance against capitalistic extremes and economic globalism, but not one I agree with. I'll refrain from rating it since I'm too biased by it's topic to view the work objectively. näyttää 4/4 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
In World-Systems Analysis, Immanuel Wallerstein provides a concise and accessible introduction to the comprehensive approach that he pioneered thirty years ago to understanding the history and development of the modern world. Since Wallerstein first developed world-systems analysis, it has become a widely utilized methodology within the historical social sciences and a common point of reference in discussions of globalization. Now, for the first time in one volume, Wallerstein offers a succinct summary of world-systems analysis and a clear outline of the modern world-system, describing the structures of knowledge upon which it is based, its mechanisms, and its future.Wallerstein explains the defining characteristics of world-systems analysis: its emphasis on world-systems rather than nation-states, on the need to consider historical processes as they unfold over long periods of time, and on combining within a single analytical framework bodies of knowledge usually viewed as distinct from one another -- such as history, political science, economics, and sociology. He describes the world-system as a social reality comprised of interconnected nations, firms, households, classes, and identity groups of all kinds. He identifies and highlights the significance of the key moments in the evolution of the modern world-system: the development of a capitalist world-economy in the sixteenth-century, the beginning of two centuries of liberal centrism in the French Revolution of 1789, and the undermining of that centrism in the global revolts of 1968. Intended for general readers, students, and experienced practitioners alike, this book presents a complete overview of world-systems analysis by its original architect.
