Social theorists dwell on the canonical works of Marx, Weber, and
Durkheim but little on the theories of the major contemporary
macrotheorists. This book fills this gap with a focus on the work
of four modern theorists who have taken on the larger questions
spawned by classical social theory. C. Wright Mills, Marvin Harris,
Immanuel Wallerstein, and Gerhard Lenski have examined such
phenomena and processes as the rise and impact of capitalism; the
centralization and enlargement of authority; inequality; and the
historical intensification of production and populations. Borrowing
what is useful from the classics as well as relying on contemporary
practitioners and empirical evidence, each theorist adds his own
insights and interpretations in constructing a comprehensive
perspective of sociocultural stability and change. This book fully
synthesizes and documents each perspective, using language and
examples that resonate with the general reader. A short biography
on each theorist is also provided.
