Product Description : In this important study Abu Lughod presents a groundbreaking reinterpretation of global economic evolution arguing that the modern world economy had its roots not in the sixteenth century as is widely supposed but in the thirteenth century economy a system far different from the European world system which emerged from it Using the city as the working unit of analysis Before European Hegemony provides a new paradigm for understanding the evolution of world systems by tracing the rise of a system that at its peak in the opening decades of the 14th century involved a vast region stretching between northwest Europe and China Writing in a clear and lively style Abu Lughod explores the reasons for the eventual decay of this system and the rise of European hegemony
