What factors determine the economic development of a society? What is the role of capitalism in shaping world politics? What has led to the emergence of global inequalities? This book is a fascinating study that will help you understand how the modern world was formed.
The author analyzes the economic functioning of the capitalist system, the role of the state in the accumulation of capital, and the role of scientific culture as a powerful social weapon of the "powerful." Special attention is paid to the various myths of the capitalist system, and the mechanism of action of the ideological tandem "racism - universalism" is shown. Wallerstein also offers a "balance sheet" of the achievements and failures of capitalist civilization, as well as an analysis of those internal dilemmas that historical capitalism is unable to solve and that have already brought it to the brink of the abyss. The publication will be useful not only to specialists, but also to a wide range of readers interested in sociology, economics, politics, and the fate of the modern world.
