This book investigates the major changes in world history and world
economy during the past five hundred years and explains to what
extent world forces have been responsible for shaping both past and
present. Its underlying theme is the struggle for power in which,
since the sixteenth century, the West has prevailed. Many of the
problems of the contemporary world - including terrorism - are the
legacy of the period of Western domination. Until the rise of the
West, and its incomparable impact on every branch of human
activity, the centre of the world has been in Asia. By the
nineteenth century world power was firmly in the hands of the West.
America's later rise to world status was prompted by the two world
wars. The most prominent of the Western nations, the US is now
blamed for all the excesses of an earlier colonial age.
