Excellent- More about Capitalism and Migration: The Rise of Hegemony in the World-System
This book explores the role of capital and labor migration in the expansion of the capitalist world-system, presenting case studies on historical periods of hegemony and analyzing migration patterns from the perspectives of class relations, technological advances, economic cycles, and state policies. It concludes that heightened migration will continue to characterize the capitalist world system, particularly as poor and displaced populations resort to migration for survival.

This comprehensive book delves into the intricate relationship between capital and labor migration and their pivotal role in the expansion of the capitalist world-system. It presents detailed case studies spanning various historical periods recognized by world-system theory, including the Dutch hegemony (1625-1675), British hegemony (1815-1873), and US hegemony (1945-1970). Furthermore, the book uncovers an earlier era of economic dominance in Western Europe during the early thirteenth century, when merchant-bankers from Florence exerted control over the regional wool trade. Throughout these four periods of dominance, spanning from the medieval era to the late twentieth century, capital and labor migration served as the foundation for capitalist development in both the hegemonic core states and the peripheral regions under their economic and political influence.
In order to analyze the migration patterns associated with the rise of hegemony, the book examines the complex dynamics between employers and workers, technological advancements at the workplace, economic cycles, and state policies on labor migration. It concludes with a projection that heightened migration will continue to be a defining feature of the capitalist world system, particularly as many poor and displaced populations in peripheral regions turn to migration as a means of survival. This book appeals to scholars across a range of disciplines, including politics, sociology, history, anthropology, and economics, who are interested in exploring the complexities of globalization and world-system analysis.
