Unthinking Social Science: Limits of 19th Century Paradigms

Meer over het boek

Wallerstein critiques the legacy of nineteenth-century social science, arguing that foundational ideas like "development" hinder contemporary understanding of social dynamics. He advocates for a radical rethinking of these concepts, emphasizing the importance of geography and chronology in social transformations. The book applies these insights across various theoretical frameworks and historical contexts, engaging with influential figures such as Marx and Braudel. In its conclusion, it revises world-systems analysis, offering a fresh perspective on social scientific thought for the new millennium.
