Sociology of the Global System by Leslie Sklair
An updated version of Sklair's overview of what the global system is and how it works through an analysis of transnational practices - economic, political and culture-ideological. The second edition takes into account recent political changes in Eastern Europe and includes more on global environmental change, the transnational capitalist class and postmodernism.Leslie Sklair is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at the London School of Economics. He worked in a cotton mill outside Glasgow for two years before going to university to study sociology and philosophy. Both experiences fostered a life-long interest in how capitalist society works in different ways
for different groups of people. In particular his long-standing interest in architecture and cities sharpened his vision on the power of the built environment to shape our lives.
