Beskrivning
Distinguishing four sources of power - ideological, economic, military and political - this series traces their interrelations throughout human history. This third volume of Michael Mann's analytical history of social power begins with nineteenth-century global empires and continues with a global history of the twentieth century up to 1945. Mann focuses on the interrelated development of capitalism, nation-states and empires. Volume 3 discusses the 'Great Divergence' between the fortunes of the West and the rest of the world; the self-destruction of European and Japanese power in two world wars; the Great Depression; the rise of American and Soviet power; the rivalry between capitalism, socialism and fascism; and the triumph of a reformed and democratic capitalism.

Recensioner i media

'Mann's epic multi-volume series is the most illuminating analysis ever written on world history. Volume 3 sets a new standard in explaining why modern empires ranged from indirect to blatant and the causes of the Great Depression, of fascism, and of Japanese aggression. He is masterful in assessing the degree of contingency vis-à-vis structural tendencies in the turning points of the twentieth century.' Randall Collins, University of Pennsylvania
