Primary Sources in World History: Wealth, Power, and Inequality

Farr, James

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers

Architects of Globalism provides the first comprehensive analysis of American Blueprints for the reconstruction of the world after the defeat of Hitler and his allies. Working closely with Roosevelt and Truman, State Department officials assumed primary responsibility for drafting these plans. Hearden shows that bitter rivalries frequently divided these officials, but that there was remarkable agreement among them on fundamental principles. These architects of globalism sought to create a liberal capitalist world system, in which foreign markets would absorb the surplus products of American farms and factories so that the United States would be able to maintain high levels of employment without further government intervention in the economy. Hearden shows these men contending with the vital issues of the day: decolonization and the dismantling of empires, relations with the Soviet Union, the formation of the United Nations, the economic reconstruction of war-torn countries, the forging of new relations with Germany and Japan, the twin problems of Palestine and petroleum. Based on extensive new research in primary sources ― from policymakers' private letters and personal diaries to official correspondence ― this exciting book documents the formation of the postwar world.

Wealth, Power and Inequality in World History Vol. 1

Wealth, Power, and Inequality in World History Vol. 1 features a unique global focus on political and economic affairs, demonstrating the close interaction between these two subjects throughout the course of world history. The text explores the ever-changing allocation of wealth and power both within individual societies and among different political entities, such as city-states, nations, and empires.\nOver the course of 17 chapters, this volume discusses the ways in which ruling elites have wielded wealth and power to increase their own privileges, suppress frequent internal revolts, and wage war against foreign entities. Opening chapters cover the beginnings of social inequality at the dawn of humankind, the Agricultural Revolution, the formation of city-states and empires in Mesopotamia, and early empires in Asia, Africa, and Mesoamerica. Students read about the Roman world, the unification of China through the Qin and Han dynasties, the fragmentation of Europe, trade and states in sub-Saharan Africa, the early Americas, and more. Images, maps, and discussion questions throughout inspire student engagement and support the overall learning experience.\nWealth, Power, and Inequality in World History Vol. 1 is the first installment in a two-book series. The books are well suited for introductory courses in world history.
