- Summary:
- A sociologist at Johns Hopkins University, Arrighi (1937-2009) explores two interdependent master processes of the modern era, the creation of national states and the formation of a worldwide capitalist system. His overall themes are the three hegemonies of historical capitalism; the rise of capital; industry, empire, and the "endless" accumulation of capital; and the long 20th century. Among specific topics are British hegemony and free-trade imperialism, the genesis of high finance, the dialectic of capitalism and territorialism, and the fourth (US) systemic cycle of accumulation.
