In a bold challenge to received historiography and social theory he turns on its head the world according to Marx, Weber, and other theorists, including Polanyi, Rostow, Braudel, and Wallerstein. Frank explains the Rise of the West in world economic and demographic terms that relate it in a single historical sweep to the decline of the East around 1800. European states, he says, used the silver extracted from the American colonies to buy entry into an expanding Asian market that already flourished in the global economy. Resorting to import substitution and export promotion in the world market, they became Newly Industrializing Economies and tipped the global economic balance to the West. That is precisely what East Asia is doing today, Frank points out, to recover its traditional dominance. As a result, the "center" of the world economy is once again moving to the "Middle Kingdom" of China. Anyone interested in Asia, in world systems and world economic and social history, in international relations, and in comparative area studies, will have to take into account Frank's exciting reassessment of our global economic past and future. 606 $aInternational economic relations$xHistory 606 $aCapitalism$xHistory 606 $aCompetition, International$xHistory 606 $aEconomic history 610 $aacademic. 610 $aamerican colonies. 610 $aasia. 610 $aasian history. 610 $acolonialism. 610 $ademographics. 610 $aeast asia. 610 $aeastern world. 610 $aeconomy. 610 $aeurocentrism. 610 $aglobal economy. 610 $aglobal. 610 $ahistoriography. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aindustrial world. 610 $aindustrialization. 610 $ainternational relations. 610 $amarx. 610 $amarxism. 610 $aphilosophy. 610 $ascholarly. 610 $asocial history. 610 $asocial theory. 610 $atheorists. 610 $aweber. 610 $awestern world. 610 $aworld economy. 610 $aworld market. 615 0$aInternational economic relations$xHistory. 615 0$aCapitalism$xHistory. 615 0$aCompetition, International$xHistory. 615 0$aEconomic history. 676 $a337 700 $aFrank$b Andre Gunder$f1929-2005.$0119669 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778864903321 996 $aReorient$9750258 997 $aUNINA
