( ) Amazingly concise. I'm hooked. I want to read more. I picked it up after reading "Industrial Society and Its Future". I wasn't aware this was a field of study. I understand it may be a post-fact narrative that fits but doesn't predict or explain the world correctly but I want the tools and want to hear the views. I loved him, then I hated him, then I loved him again, then I hated him again - and then I forgave him our differences and settled in to enjoy his easy, useful and even fun high-level overview of the past 500 years of human history. After reading Galeano earlier this year (and E.M. Wood last year), probably the most interesting bit for me was his description of a permanent state of the world system, regardless of innovation cycles: western/core economies are constructed around firms with pricing power (he just calls then monopolies) and global south/ peripheral economies are constructed around firms in more commoditised sectors without global pricing power. An attempt at viewing the entire planet as one giant capitalistic machine through the eyes of a historian & sociologist. His views are marxist so he sees things from a very socialistic perspective. A bit too socialist for my tastes. It's a strong stance against capitalistic extremes and economic globalism, but not one I agree with. I'll refrain from rating it since I'm too biased by it's topic to view the work objectively. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Los medios y los cientÍficos sociales repiten constantemente que hay dos cosas que dominan el mundo desde finales del siglo xx: la globalizaciÓn y el terrorismo. Ambos se nos presentan como fenÓmenos sustancialmente nuevos: el primero rebosante de esperanzas y, el segundo, de peligros temibles. Para la globalizaciÓn, se dice, no hay ninguna alternativa, y todos los gobiernos deben someterse a sus exigencias. Para el terrorismo igualmente, no hay ninguna alternativa, y si queremos sobrevivir debemos aplastarlo en todas sus manifestaciones. Hemos observado estos fenÓmenos como definidos en un tiempo y escena, no hemos sido capaces de comprender su significado, sus orÍgenes, su trayectoria, ni cual es su lugar en el orden mayor de las cosas. Este libro es una introducciÓn al anÁlisis de sistemas-mundo. No tiene pretensiÓn de ser una suma. Intenta cubrir todo el espectro de temas y se presenta como una introducciÓn a un modo de pensar y como una invitaciÓn a un amplio debate... No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
