Giovanni Arrighi Totally Explained

Everything about Giovanni Arrighi totally explained

Giovanni Arrighi is a scholar of political economy and sociology, as of early 2008Professor of Sociology at Johns Hopkins University. His work has been translated into over fifteen languages. Arrighi was born in Italy in 1937. He received his PhD in economics from the University of Milan in 1960. After a few years of teaching in Italy, he went to Africa in 1963. Arrighi first taught at the University College of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and then later at the University College of Dar es Salaam, while conducting research on African development. During this time he developed arguments about how the labor supply and labor resistance affected the development of colonialism and national liberation movements. It was there that he met Immanuel Wallerstein, with whom he'd later collaborate on a number of research projects. After returning to Italy in 1969, Arrighi and others formed the "Gruppo Gramsci" in 1971. In 1979 Arrighi joined Wallerstein and Terence Hopkins as a professor of sociology at the Fernand Braudel Center for the Study of Economies, Historical Systems, and Civilizations at SUNY Binghamton. It was during this time that the Fernand Braudel Center became known as the main center of world-systems analysis, attracting scholars from all over the world.
His 1994 work The Long Twentieth Century reinterpreted the history of capitalism since the thirteenth century as a series of alternations between 'material expansions' and 'financial expansions'. Although in many ways intellectually close to Immanuel Wallerstein, he tends to ascribe greater significance to the recent shift in economic power to East Asia. He has also emphasized his debt to Adam Smith, Max Weber, Karl Marx, Antonio Gramsci, Karl Polanyi, and Joseph Schumpeter. He presently is a professor of sociology at Johns Hopkins University.
His partner is a fellow sociology professor at Johns Hopkins, Beverly Silver, with whom he's co-authored several works.
