Verlagstext:Winner of the American Sociological Association PEWS Award (1995) for Distinguished Scholarship The Long Twentieth Century traces the epochal shifts in the relationship between capital accumulation and state formation over a 700-year period. Giovanni Arrighi masterfully synthesizes social theory, comparative history and historical narrative in this account of the structures and agencies which have shaped the course of world history over the millennium. Borrowing from Braudel, Arrighi argues that the history of capitalism has unfolded as a succession of "long centuries" -- ages during which a hegemonic power deploying a novel combination of economic and political networks secured control over an expanding world-economic space. The modest beginnings, rise and violent unravel-ing of the links forged between capital, state power, and geopolitics by hegemonic classes and states are explored with dramatic intensity. From this perspective, Arrighi explains the changing fortunes of Florentine, Venetian, Genoese, Dutch, English, and finally American capitalism. The book concludes with an examination of the forces which have shaped and are now poised to undermine America's world power. / AUS DEM INHALT: / / / THE THREE HEGEMONIES OF HISTORICAL CAPITALISM 27 Hegemony, Capitalism, and Territorialism 27 The Origins of the Modern Inter-state System 36 British Hegemony and Free-Trade Imperialism 47 US Hegemony and the Rise of the Free Enterprise System 58 Towards a New Research Agenda 74 THE RISE OF CAPITAL 85 The Antecedents of Systemic Cycles of Accumulation 85 The Genesis of High Finance 96 The First (Genoese) Systemic Cycle of Accumulation 109 The Second (Dutch) Systemic Cycle of Accumulation 127 The Dialectic of State and Capital 144 INDUSTRY, EMPIRE, AND THE "ENDLESS" ACCUMULATION OF CAPITAL 159 The Third (British) Systemic Cycle of Accumulation 159 The Dialectic of Capitalism and Territorialism 174 The Dialectic of Capitalism and Territorialism (Continued) 195 Reprise and Preview 214 THE LONG TWENTIETH CENTURY THE LONG TWENTIETH CENTURY 239 The Dialectic of Market and Plan 239 The Fourth (US) Systemic Cycle of Accumulation 269 The Dynamics of Global Crisis 300 EPILOGUE: CAN CAPITALISM SURVIVE SUCCESS? 325
