"read for sociology class in college, but kept it because of its accurate portrayal of our precarious position "on top" and recommendations for how to deal with our declining power in that position."

"This book is dense - I'll pick it up again after the holidays. I'm not a poli sci specialist, but Wallerstein's analysis is intriguing, especially in light of the economic meltdown this fall (though my opinion is that the meltdown was caused by a lack of confidence). I give it a 4 because of its density, if that is fair - it's an academic book."

"The author is an academic, and a theorist. So steer away from this book if you get intimidated by jargon. However it's a really good examination of political and economic power in the global marketplace through the lens of systems theory. The title doesn't do it justice - the subject matter is a lot broader than just US hegenomic power. I really need to read this again, because I read it for class during a busy semester and just caught the most relevant points."

By Matthew, The United States

"We're caught in a trap, I can't walk out..

Um actually the only complaint I have about Wallerstein is that many of his books harp on his same (giant) analysis. Capitalism has run out of frontier, the proletarianization of the populace, the coming bifurcation and likely emergence of a new global system. He gets the fifth point for covering the one thing that Negri/Hardt got right in Empire, the material contextualization of postmodernism, but in a much clearer and explicit way."
