The World System: Five Hundred Years or Five Thousand? by Andre Gunder Frank (En

Description: The World System by Andre Gunder Frank, Barry Gills This edited collection of provocative essays reproduces the debate on the role of capital accumulation in world development and the criteria for defining a world eco-system. Contributors include: Samir Amin and E. Wallerstein. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This volume discusses the historic long-term economic interconnections of the world, and how they are now universally accepted. The idea of the "world system" advanced by Immanuel Wallerstein has set the period of linkage in the early modern period. However, some academics think this date is much too late and denies a much longer interconnection going back as much as five thousand years. The text discussus this issue, and the implications - reframing the chronology of the world system exercises powerful influences on the writing of history. It integrates the areas of Asia and the East which were marginalized by Wallerstein into the heart of the debate and provides a much more convincing account of developments which cannot otherwise be explained. It undermines the primacy claimed for Europe as the major agent of economic change, an issue with implications far beyond the realm of history.
