This book offers an in-depth historical perspective on the rise of capitalism, written by one of the leading scholars of the Global South.
Arguing that globalisation is poorly understood, it offers a new synthesis of political and economic theory that sheds light on the consequences of rapid industrialisation world wide.
Writing from outside the usual Western perspective, the book challenges many of the usual preconceptions about the impact of globalisation.

'By far the most convincing case I have seen for the globalisation hypothesis, as well as being an impassioned manifesto against the rich and powerful on behalf of the world's disempowered majority'
