On Giovanni Arrighi's Adam Smith in Beijing: Lineages of the 21st Century
[Patreon Tier II & III Exclusive]
We discuss the Introduction and Part 1 of this landmark book from 2008 and ask if Arrighi's vision of China, the West and the structure of the global economy was correct.
Points discussed:
- What's at stake in thinking of East Asian growth as a renaissance, or correction of the historical blip of European ascendency?
- How compelling is the account of East Asian success as a fusion of industrious and industrial revolution?
- Was Arrighi right to focus on the neoconservative Project for a New American Century?
- What do we think about Adam Smith's account of different classes' capacity for political action
- What's at stake in the revisionist view of Adam Smith as pro-state Enlightenment thinker rather than patron saint of the free market?
