In this study, Eric Mielants provides a novel interdisciplinary
interpretation of the origins of modernity and capitalism in
particular. He argues that contrary to popular thinking, the Rise
of the West should not be analyzed in terms of the Industrial
Revolution or the colonization of the New World, but viewed from
long-term developments that occurred in the Middle Ages. A
fascinating overview of different civilizations in East Asia, South
Asia, and Northwestern Africa is provided and systematically
compared and contrasted with Western Europe. This book addresses
some of the major debates that have recently unfolded in world
history, comparative sociology, political economy, sociological
theory and historical sociology.a Mielants indicates how many
existing theories (such as Marxism, World-Systems Theory and
Smithian Modernization Theory) have suffered from either
Eurocentric or limited temporal and spatial analyses, which
prevents them from a complete understanding of why the origins of
capitalism and citizenship emerged in Western Europe."
