Modern World-System in the Longue Duree

In this book prominent scholars from around the world debate two major themes: the past and future of the capitalist world-economy and the ways in which a capitalist economy shapes Western research the academy and broader knowledge structures. Putting the two themes together they also analyze the relationship between scholarship and the rest of the world. The book is published to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Fernand Braudel Center. Contributors Samir Amin Christopher Chase-Dunn Bart Tromp.
