Book 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.

Author Bio

Michael Mann has conducted research on various periods and issues in South Asian economic and social history from the eighteenth to the twentieth century. He has published numerous articles on environmental history. His research has recently expanded into the areas of urban history, urbanization and migration in the South Asian region. These investigations focus in part on questions of historiography.

His “Geschichte Indiens vom 18. bis zum 21. Jahrhundert,” published in 2005, has become a standard introductory text on its subject.

Since April 1, 2010, Professor Mann has headed the Department of South Asia Studies at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. He studied South Asian History, Medieval and Modern History, Indology and German Language and Literature at the Universität Heidelberg, where he earned his doctorate in 1992 with a dissertation on the agricultural and environmental history of northern India. For his thesis on the development of the British colonial government in Bengal, he obtained his postdoctoral qualification in 1999.

He has taught at the FernUniversität in Hagen, the South Asia Institute at Heidelberg, and the Global and European Institute of the Universität Leipzig. On a temporary basis in 2008/09, he held the professorship in Cultural Economic History at the Karl Jaspers Centre of the Universität Heidelberg.
