{"product_id":"9781844673049","title":"The Long Twentieth Century","description":"\u003ci\u003eThe Long Twentieth Century\u003c\/i\u003e traces the relationship between capital accumulation and state formation over a 700-year period. Arrighi argues that capitalism has unfolded as a succession of “long centuries,” each of which produced a new world power that secured control over an expanding world-economic space. Examining the changing fortunes of Florentine, Venetian, Genoese, Dutch, English and finally American capitalism, Arrighi concludes with an examination of the forces that have shaped and are now poised to undermine America’s world dominance. A masterpiece of historical sociology, \u003ci\u003eThe Long Twentieth Century\u003c\/i\u003e rivals in scope and ambition contemporary classics by Perry Anderson, Charles Tilly and Michael Mann.","brand":"Giovanni Arrighi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":46067758989524,"sku":"9781844673049","price":39.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_1dd6d57f-6e63-4aaa-a13a-2030c94d1d5f.jpg?v=1733885351","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9781844673049","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
