Michael Mann is one of the most influential sociologists writing
today. His three-volume work The Sources of Social Power, the third
volume of which has just been completed, has transformed our way of
thinking about power and has rewritten the history of human
societies. No one interested in understanding how the modern world
was shaped, how we got to where we are today, and where we're
likely to be heading can afford to ignore this modern classic.
Michael Mann is, as John Hall aptly describes him, "a Max Weber for
our times." In this new book Michael Mann reflects on the meaning
of his project as a whole, both as a contribution to social theory
and as a guide to the options and constraints that face the
contemporary world now and in the near future. He gives sustained
attention to the situation of the United States, the nature of the
challenge that may come from China, the unrestrained and perhaps
unrestrainable power of finance, and the looming crisis of
environmental degradation. This concise and accessible book is the
ideal introduction to the work and thought of one of the most
original social scientists in the world today. Students and
scholars will find the book invaluable, and general readers will
find in this book a clear and masterful guide to the key challenges
we face in the years and decades ahead.
