"Repeated winks and references to "taming the working classes" as the explanation for far, far more complicated world events docked "World-Systems" down a few stars. The broad contours of the argument are spot on, to be sure."
"Before I read this book I did not even know what a world-system was. Uh I don't really know how to review this, it was kind of dry but it's a book of theory. About world-systems. Basically I'm just trying to keep my brain from atrophying too badly post-college. And pre-reading the Twilight series."
"This was my intro to Wallerstein and I've been hooked ever since. Its introductory and a quick read, so its enjoyable, but do not expect too much beyond a run over of his major ideas. Excellent are chapter one, which gives a critical history of knowledge (which we divide into the three spheres of physical and social sciences as well as the humanities) that brings us to the W's concept of historical social-science/World Systems Theory as a critique of dominant modes of looking at the world (this was a gem for me); chapter two provides his overview of the development of capitalism as a global system (as opposed to capitalism existing in Europe and states of non-capitalism or "semi-feudalism" in colonized areas) which is a much more advanced and useful explanation than 19th century Marxism. The third and fourth are on inter-state relations and future predictions around structure and culture in that I'm not so sold on. Overall refreshing and lucid read that provides great tools for understanding the world in a historical way."
"Fascinating. Good introduction to the field of world-systems theory. Go, high margin core processes leaching off the periphery! Be sure to dig into those footnotes!
I was introduced to Wallerstein in my Political Geography class at UNC long ago. Ah, neo-marxist geopolitics."
