About
"This is the first of three inter-related books (in a project directed by Immanuel Wallerstein) whose overall objective is to provide an alternative account of contemporary developments of globalization. Current events can only be understood within the historical development of the capitalist world-economy. Authors will explore the three interrelated loci of action within the system - the structural trends in the capitalist world-economy, the categories of social knowledge, and the waves of antisystemic movements. Each book will investigate each of these sectors worldwide for long historical periods (two to four centuries) to discern what is special about the current period, and to seek to understand why we are nearing a crisis- breakpoint of the historical system in which we live today" -- Provided by the publisher.
