Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The model presented in Chapter 13 attempts to describe patterns that have occurred in the Europe-centered modern world-system over the past 600 years. It does not assume that nothing important has emerged since the 15th century, claim that human behavior is completely determined by global forces, demonstrate that history repeats itself in a specific way, or presume that Karl Marx's understanding of modern social change was flawless.
