Core/Periphery Relations in Precapitalist Worlds

by Christopher Chase-Dunn (Editor)

Overview

This book demonstrates that Immanuel Wallerstein's reluctance to apply core and periphery to precapitalist transformations is a product of the way he views the luxury trade. It utilizes the study of different kinds of world-systems to explore how logics of social reproduction become transformed.
