توضیحات
Why are some countries rich, powerful, and technologically advanced while others remain dependent on low-wage labor, raw materials, and foreign investment?Why does global capitalism seem to create extraordinary wealth in some places while preserving deep inequality in others?World-Systems Theory for Beginners provides a clear, engaging introduction to one of the most influential frameworks for understanding how the global economy really works.Instead of viewing countries as isolated economies, world-systems theory asks you to see the world as a single interconnected structure—one shaped by core powers, peripheral regions, semiperipheral economies, global production, trade, labor, and unequal exchange.Inside, you’ll discover:How core, semiperiphery, and periphery organize the global economic systemWhy capitalism developed as a world-economy, not simply a collection of national marketsHow colonialism and imperial expansion helped create enduring economic hierarchiesWhy some countries control high-profit industries while others specialize in lower-value productionHow global supply chains connect workers, corporations, consumers, and governments across continentsWhy powerful states and multinational corporations occupy such influential positionsHow hegemony, economic cycles, financialization, and systemic crises shape global changeWhat China’s rise reveals about movement within the global hierarchyHow migration, digital technology, and environmental pressures are transforming the modern world-systemWhere world-systems theory succeeds—and where critics argue it falls shortWritten for readers with no prior background in sociology, economics, or political theory, this book turns a complex academic framework into an accessible way of understanding the forces behind global wealth, inequality, power, and development.If you have ever wondered why economic prosperity is distributed so unevenly—or why events in one part of the world can reshape lives thousands of miles away—this book will give you a new way to see the connections.Buy World-Systems Theory for Beginners today and discover the hidden structure behind the modern global economy.
