The Modern World-System is the fundamental work of the American sociologist Immanuel Wallerstein (b. 1930). The scientific reputation of this book, which offers an original concept of the emergence and development of the world capitalist economy, is comparable to Karl Marx's Capital. The first volume of The World-System of Modern was first published back in 1974. The second volume of Immanuel Wallerstein’s capital work The World-System of Modern is dedicated to key milestones in the history of the capitalist world-economy of the 2011th — first third of the 1989th centuries: the short-term Dutch hegemony, the first stages of the struggle for hegemony between England and France, the emergence of new rising semi-peripheral powers (Sweden, Prussia, Russia). Contrary to the prevailing idea of ​​the "long" 2011th century as a period of "refeudalization" and "seigneurial reaction", the author demonstrates that in reality the "crisis of the XNUMXth century" was a time of consolidation and strengthening of capitalist forces, which prepared the next stage of a new large-scale expansion of capitalism at the turn of the XNUMXth century. — XIX centuries. The translation is based on the XNUMX reprint, which contains a new preface, in which Wallerstein offers a brief theoretical summary of the world-systems approach through the lens of the concept of "hegemony". The main themes of the third volume of Immanuel Wallerstein's capital work "Modern World-System" are criticism of the concepts of "industrial revolution" and "bourgeois revolution", a new interpretation of the Great French Revolution in the context of the Anglo-French struggle for world hegemony, the inclusion of new territories in the capitalist world-system (including Russia) and resettlement decolonization of the American continent. The first edition of the book was published in XNUMX, the Russian translation includes a preface to the XNUMX reprint. The fourth (and currently the last published) volume of Immanuel Wallerstein's capital work "Modern World-System" covers the time period from the Great French Revolution to the outbreak of the First World War. The main themes of this volume are: the formation of the liberal state in the countries of the center of the capitalist world-economy, class conflicts in the development of the liberal state, the history of the struggle for civil rights, the emergence of modern social sciences. Each of these plots is considered through the prism of the central theme of the entire volume - the emergence of three main ideologies of modernity (liberalism, conservatism and socialism), which Wallerstein interprets as variants of one ideology - centrist liberalism, which during the "long nineteenth century" became the dominant geoculture of the capitalist world-system .
