Marx's Capital after 150 Years:
Critique and Alternative to Capitalism
(York University, Canada)
Wallerstein is AMAZING! One of the greatest minds in recent social sciences!
Immanuel Wallerstein demonstrated again and again in his career that he was one of the great social scientists
and philosophers of the twentieth century. His extreme grasp of qualitative and quantitative social and historical reality continued the work of Hegel, Marx and Max Weber; without which it is a prescription for shallowness and intellectual failure to try to characterize contemporary political and economic reality (and problems and what to do about them).
feels like sitting next to radical grandpa listening to his memories, full of gaps, from a long life of analysis. thanks
@S D You're an ignorant jerk. Do the research first and then come back and comment.
Sad that he passed, but his work will certainly continue to be relevant and extremely informative!
Great!
it is not contrarian cycles as it says in the subtitles but Kondratiev cycles from the russian economist
Precisely, the protests sparked by the death of George Floyd were predicted by Kondratiev's method.
This was an outstanding lecture. Does anyone have any suggestions for me on if I want to learn more about his work, which of his books are good to start with?
Read Historical Capitalism with Capitalist Civilization
Wallerstein's masterpiece is Modern World-System written in 4 vols. This work is a history of capitalism since XV century to 1914
But if you want a short introductory work read World-System Analysis. An Introduction (2004)
