Description
Samir Amin offers a fresh perspective on world history in this thought-provoking work. He challenges traditional Eurocentric views by examining the ancient world system and its influence on modern capitalism, as well as the origins of globalisation and its implications for socialism. Amin's analysis explores the role of Central Asia in shaping world history, alongside the divergent paths taken by Europe and China. The book delves into a key theme that has been central to Amin's work: unequal development. This insightful study is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the true nature of historical processes. A complimentary copy of the ebook (Adobe PDF) is available for African non-governmental organisations with limited funds, while UK customers will receive VAT on their orders.
