O longo século XX: Dinheiro, poder e as origens do nosso tempo (Portuguese Edition)

The "Longue Durée of World Capitalism" is a groundbreaking book that offers a comprehensive analysis of the formation, expansion, and crisis of the four hegemonies that have shaped the global economy over the past six centuries.

With a unique blend of historical depth and theoretical rigor, this book provides a framework for understanding the recurring patterns of accumulation and crisis that have defined the capitalist system. Through a detailed examination of the models proposed by Marx, Weber, Schumpeter, Braudel, and other authors, Arrighi identifies four "long centuries" of economic expansion, each marked by distinct phases of material and financial growth.

By centralizing production networks, trade, and power, Gênova, Holanda, Inglaterra, e Estados Unidos emerged as the dominant economies in each era, securing their command over the global economy. This book is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complex dynamics of the capitalist system and the factors that shape its evolution.

With its innovative approach and comprehensive analysis, "The Longue Durée of World Capitalism" offers a fresh perspective on the history of economic thought and provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the global economy today.
