About this audiobook
In the century before the Black Death swept across the world, economic relations flourished between Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, interacting on essentially equal terms. Before European Hegemony uses a wide-ranging geographical analysis to examine the fall of this thriving global economy built around interlocking sub-systems with the major world cities and towns playing a crucial role. As economic activity spread across borders, so did the Black Death. In the East, its catastrophic impact was exacerbated by the disintegration of the Mongol Empire and the collapse of the Asia-wide trading system, enabling the West to rise from the ruins and dominate the modern capitalist world-system.
One of the most important texts available on what is known as world-systems analysis, Before European Hegemony offers a window into global economics as far back as the mid-thirteenth century. Abu-Lughod’s balanced approach and wide-ranging geographical analysis describes a thriving, multi-centered system brought down by unexpected forces.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Repetative and soporific. Much better to read a written review of the book rather than listen to this. The only reason I managed to listen through to the end was that I was on a two-hour hike with no internet connection :)
