Synopsis of The Modern World-System

«The Modern World-System» is Immanuel Wallerstein's essay on economic history, published by Academic Press in paperback (244 pages, in English).

Wallerstein examines the transition from feudalism to capitalism in sixteenth-century Europe and explains how capitalist agriculture created an interconnected world-economy, integrating European regions into a single commercial and productive system. The work combines economic history and sociology to analyze the origins of the modern world-system.

First volume of the «The Modern World-System» series, within the «Studies in Social Discontinuity» collection. This text edition won the 1975 Sorokin Prize.

Recommended for university students and readers interested in economic history, sociology and the analysis of capitalism.
