Giovanni Arrighi (1937-2009) was Professor of Sociology at Johns Hopkins University. His books include The Long Twentieth Century, Adam Smith in Beijing, and, with Beverly Silver, Chaos and Governance in the Modern World System. His work has appeared in many publications, including New Left Review-who published an interview on his life-long intellectual trajectory in March-April 2009, and an obituary in Nov-Dec 2009-and there are more accounts on his memorial website.

Arrighi is a student of the French historian Fernand Braudel, and the book has the range and ambition of Braudel's work.

   Ett ekonomiskt perspektiv på Kinas utveckling

   Giovanni Arrighis bok "Adam Smith in Beijing" beskriver mekanismen bakom den ekonomiska utvecklingen under de senaste seklen mot bakgrund av Adam Smiths revolutionerande teorier i "The Wealth of Nations". Mot den som grund sätter han in Kinas historiska återkomst som ekonomiskt stormakt. Tillsammans med Arrighis tidigare bok: "The Long Twentieth Century" (På svenska "Det långa 1900-talet") ger "Adam Smith in Beijing" en bild av kapitalismens framväxt från de italienska stadsstaterna på medeltiden till dagens situation där Kina utmanar USA:s ledande roll i världsekonomin.
