Translated from the original Russian, this book analyzes the
economic development of leading European empires and the United
States of America. The author exposes the myths of the spontaneous
emergence of the market economy and the role of government as a
disincentive towards private initiative, when for centuries the
state power has been carrying out a "coercing to the market" with
all its strength. This book presents a somewhat epic depiction of
the development of Western hegemonic powers within the capitalist
world system, from the struggles of the late Middle Ages to the
rise and crisis of the American Empire. It both develops and
questions some of the traditional assumptions of the world-system
theory, arguing that it was very much the political form of the
state that shaped capitalism as we know it and that, though the
existence of a hegemonic power results from the logic of the
system, hegemony is often missing in reality. A major work of
historical Marxist theory, this book is essential reading for
students of international political economy, globalisation and the
crisis of capitalism. This book is also ideal for students of
politics, history, economics and international relations.
