This thought-provoking monograph analyzes long- medium- and
short-term global cycles of prosperity, recession, and depression,
plotting them against centuries of important world events. Major
research on economic and political cycles is integrated to clarify
evolving relationships between the global center and its periphery
as well as current worldwide economic upheavals and potential
future developments. Central to this survey are successive waves of
industrial and, later, technological and cybernetic progress,
leading to the current era of globalization and the changes of the
roles of both Western powers and former minors players, however
that will lead to the formation of the world order without a
hegemon. Additionally, the authors predict what they term the Great
Convergence, the lessening of inequities between the global core
and the rest of the world, including the wealth gap between First
and Third World nations. Among the topics in this ambitious volume:
* Why politics is often omitted from economic analysis. * Why
economic cycles are crucial to understanding the modern
geopolitical landscape. * How the aging of the developed world will
affect world technological and economic future.<
* The evolving technological forecast for Global North and South.
* Where the U.S. is likely to stand on the future world stage.
Economic Cycles, Crises, and the Global Periphery will inspire
discussion and debate among sociologists, global economists,
demographers, global historians, and futurologists. This expert
knowledge is necessary for further research, proactive response,
and preparedness for a new age of sociopolitical change.
