Wallerstein, thereby, invented a fresh version of historical social science that brought together the customary disciplines associated with economics, politics, and sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is an essential volume for understanding Immanuel Wallerstein's unique contributions to the understanding of the modern world-system, which he argued came to an end after the world revolution of 1968--leaving us now in an indeterminate world of chaos. This is thereby a sourcebook for researchers and students who care about the history and decline of our now chaotic world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Immanuel Wallerstein,Charles Lemert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1041084986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781041084983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.61d","brand":"Immanuel Wallerstein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48242017763583,"sku":"9781041084983","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0a28f75a-f37c-4cee-ad2a-f678b6c545a4.jpg?v=1772657092","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/uncertainties-of-time-immanuel-wallerstein-9781041084983","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
