Zustand: Very Good. : Este libro investiga los principales cambios en la historia mundial y la economía mundial durante los últimos quinientos años y explica en qué medida las fuerzas mundiales han sido responsables de dar forma tanto al pasado como al presente. Su tema subyacente es la lucha por el poder en la que, desde el siglo XVI, ha prevalecido Occidente. Muchos de los problemas del mundo contemporáneo, incluido el terrorismo, son el legado del período de dominación occidental. Hasta el auge de Occidente y su incomparable impacto en todas las ramas de la actividad humana, el centro del mundo ha estado en Asia. En el siglo XIX, el poder mundial estaba firmemente en manos de Occidente. El posterior ascenso de Estados Unidos al estatus mundial fue impulsado por las dos guerras mundiales. A la más prominente de las naciones occidentales, Estados Unidos, ahora se le culpa de todos los excesos de una era colonial anterior.
