What is The World System : Five Hundred Years or Five Thousand? about?

<p><b></b><b><i>The World System</i></b> confronts the idea that historic long term economic interconnectedness did not begin, as some say, 500 years ago, but rather 5,000. The editors have gathered an impressive array of scholars involved in world system analysis, and include both statements and responses to the idea of a "one world system". Contributors such as Immanuel Wallerstein and William H. McNeil take up the various aspects and issues created by these controversial and challenging theories. <p><b></b><b><i>The World System</i></b> is addressed to a wide range of disciplines, for whom such a radical thesis may have important implications. The book broadly poses a challenge to Eurocentric world history, and offers a humanocentric alternative analysis.</p>
