The significance of these two books—each drawn from a set of lectures—is that they represent a concerted effort by two respected academicians to grapple with a phenomenon that is world-wide in scope and has had serious consequences for Africa's economic development. For anyone interested in the development of capitalism as a socio-economic system, these two books provide a recommended and interesting sequence. What Wallerstein calls historical capitalism is "that concrete, time-bounded, space-bounded integrated locus of production activities within which the endless accumulation has been the economic objective or 'law' that has governed or prevailed in fundamental economic activity" (p. 18) and all other aspects of social life. The fundamental basis of this system is the commodification of everything in society, but especially labor. This historically allowed capitalism to evolve a system of accumulation which hithertofore had not existed, i.e., to get labor to produce surplus value which then would be reinvested for further accumulation. In a sweeping but credible generalization, Wallerstein asserts that:
期刊介绍:
The Yearbook of Phraseology is a fully international, peer-reviewed publication dedicated to research in phraseology, a linguistic subfield concerned with the study of word combinations of varying extent and type, and different degrees of fixedness. Word combinations are ubiquitous in language and constitute a significant resource for communication. Their study is of interest to many other subdisciplines of linguistics and even to other disciplines, throwing light on the make-up of constructions, their processing and learning, the make-up and modes of creation of complex building blocks of language, the methodology and use of corpora and statistical methods, as well as on the way in which language functions.
