It seriously isn’t worth it. It’s all wrong. I started on it several times, but it is just wrong

Turns out this was right all along.

I remember when I got a copy of this when it was new, I was a freshmen at a third rate university and found its prose impenetrable. In fact, I remember wondering what they meant by "ancien regime" and having to look it up. Ahh, what a I pseud I was! (and in many ways still am)

There is nothing better on the subject. He beats every other geopolitical "theorist" by sheer number of his predictions that turned out correct.

OP literally asked us to recommend something better, and I did. I read some of that book because I thought he had some insights, but no. I disagree with him.

I pirated the audiobook of his generic intro to world systems book and found it reasonably comfy, might have to check that shit out

let him read and decide on himself.
And if you disagree with the book, at least put an effort into explaining why it's wrong.
I'm from a "torn country" (by Huntington's definition) and to me it sounds pretty correct.
