In the late eighteenth century, the political economist Adam Smith predicted an eventual equalization of power between the West and the territories it had conquered. In this magisterial new work, Giovanni Arrighi shows how China's extraordinary rise invites us to reassess radically the conventional reading of The Wealth of Nations. He examines how recent US attempts to create the first truly global empire were conceived to counter China's spectacular economic success Now America's disastrous failure in Iraq has made the People's Republic of China the true winner in the US War on Terror. China may soon become again the kind of noncapitalist market economy that Smith described, an event that will reconfigure world trade and the global balance of power.

    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 ... Läs hela recensionen

Arrighi is a student of the French historian Fernand Braudel, and the book has the range and ambition of Braudel's work. * Financial Times * Adam Smith in Beijing follows, and completes, his previous volume The Long Twentieth Century. Together they constitute a stunning work of world history with theoretical and political intent whose intellectual roots lie in a mix of radical historiographical traditions. * Radical Philosophy * This book is an impressive result; it will have a major impact ... Arrighi argues his case in great detail-using an elaborate exegesis of The Wealth of Nations, which will send many readers back to that text in amazement. * Economic and Political Weekly *
