This book provides a crosscutting interdisciplinary account of how
the disintegrated, global subsistence economy circa 1800 has
transformed into a global complex delivering unprecedented levels
of material production and consumption. Applying major findings
from economics, history/historiography, and sociology (as well as
from anthropology, psychology, politics, and environmental
studies), the analysis tracks the ways in which changes in
‘society’ (including social structures, values, and forces)
have changed ‘individuals’ (including conceptions of race,
gender, and identity) and vice versa. These changes have
simultaneously homogenised and diversified societies and
individuals in distinct but sometimes contradictory ways, opening
up many possible worlds from an individual and group perspective.
Yet, the scale and pace of change has also led to increasing
existential challenges. Â The narrative consists of 30
chapters organized into 10 subsets of 3: one chapter on a relevant
core idea; one chapter focused on historical narrative and titled
after a representative year; and one chapter on a relevant
associated crosscutting theme. Major regional and topical
discussions are provided, with special attention paid to business
and organisational change and developing world scholarship. Small
discussion ‘boxes’ focusing on illustrative cases and details
are presented throughout the book. The last chapter contains
over-arching conclusions.
