The Sources of Social Power: Volume 3, Global Empires and Revolution, 1890-1945 Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Distinguishing four sources of power - ideological, economic, military and political - this series traces their interrelations throughout human history.

This third volume of Michael Mann's analytical history of social power begins with nineteenth-century global empires and continues with a global history of the twentieth century up to 1945.

Mann focuses on the interrelated development of capitalism, nation-states and empires.

Volume 3 discusses the 'Great Divergence' between the fortunes of the West and the rest of the world; the self-destruction of European and Japanese power in two world wars; the Great Depression; the rise of American and Soviet power; the rivalry between capitalism, socialism and fascism; and the triumph of a reformed and democratic capitalism.
