Reviews
"An exciting and highly intelligent book. . . . The staggering pace at which Wallerstein moves over different levels of explanation, and skillfully combines them into his argument, deserves admiration."
-- "History"
"However one casts up the balance-sheet on Wallerstein's second volume, his effort commands respect and justifies interest in the volumes to follow."-- "Society"
"In this age of high specialization, Wallerstein's ambitious but judicious synthesis will command the respect of any scholar who has tried to grapple with the peculiarly intractable problems of this period. . . . the book is shot through with shrewd and often stimulating comment."-- "Journal of Modern History"
