The Modern World-System II Summary

The Modern World-System II: Mercantilism and the Consolidation of the European World-Economy, 16001750 by Immanuel Wallerstein

An innovative, panoramic reinterpretation of global history, it traces the emergence and development of the modern world from the sixteenth to the twentieth century.

The Modern World-System II Reviews

"However one casts up the balance-sheet on Wallersteins second volume, his effort commands respect and justifies interest in the volumes to follow." * Society *
"An exciting and highly intelligent book. . . . The staggering pace at which Wallerstein moves over different levels of explanation, and skillfully combines them into his argument, deserves admiration."



* History *
"In this age of high specialization, Wallerstein's ambitious but judicious synthesis will command the respect of any scholar who has tried to grapple with the peculiarly intractable problems of this period. . . . the book is shot through with shrewd and often stimulating comment." * Journal of Modern History *
