Description
The Sources of Social Power: Volume 4, Globalizations, 1945-2011 by Michael Mann This fourth volume of Michael Mann's analytical history of social power explores the complex interplay of four sources of power - ideological, economic, military, and political - across human history. The period from 1945 to the present is examined, focusing on the three major pillars of postwar global order: capitalism, the nation-state system, and the United States. Mann's key argument is that globalization is not a single process, but rather a multifaceted phenomenon driven by the interactions and transformations of these four sources of power. The book delves into the rise and decline of the American Empire, the fall or transformation of communism, and the shift from neo-Keynesianism to neoliberalism. It also examines three major crises of this period: nuclear weapons, the great recession, and climate change. By tracing the interrelations of these four sources of power, Mann sheds light on the complex dynamics of globalization and its impact on the world order.
