Has anyone been reading on World System analysis?
I confess I should have read it much earlier, but reading some of the main works have been very illuminating in terms to getting to understand capitalism - or the capitalist world system - in the longue durée.
Particularly relevant is the pattern of expansion of material production followed by expansion of financial speculation that has been taking place with the Dutch and British hegemons and is happening to the current hegemon, the United States, in front of our every eyes.
Or perhaps you may have a critique. Please do share your thoughts.
