The Modern World-System I by Immanuel Wallerstein

The Modern World-System I by Immanuel Wallerstein

A panoramic reinterpretation of global history, this title traces the emergence and development of the modern world from the sixteenth to the twentieth century.

"A tour de force that brings together and makes sense of a wealth of diverse historical studies which often seem to contradict each other..an extremely formidable achievement." * New York Times Book Review *
"A heroic and impressive achievement. . . . an exhilarating and satisfying book. . . . it explains more convincingly and sympathetically than anything I have read hitherto the actual process of economic and social development on a European-world scale." * American Journal of Sociology *
"A remarkable book. The author has a theory and uses it to explain the structure and course of public events in Europe and its trans-oceanic annexes in the sixteenth century. The effect is dazzling and dizzying."
  * Societas *

Immanuel Wallerstein is Senior Research Scholar at Yale University and the former President of the International Sociological Association. He is the author of many books, including, most recently, World-Systems Analysis: An Introduction and European Universalism: The Rhetoric of Power.
