Very interesting!   Now can you summarize the major points being drawn from 
each thinker, and to what use they are being put?

 This is now the last 10 year archive selection from Reuters in my world
 system theory in the world press series. 
 
 There were over 100 articles for Samir Amin, so I had to perform a
 selection.
 
 A final interpretation in the end: the series could and should show, that
 'our points' in world systems research are carried in an interesting, but
 culturally very selective fashion in the world media. 
 
 AGF's work has been received most actively in the countries of Asia and the
 Pacific over recent years; Giovanni Arrighi's impact has been especially
 noticeable in the countries of the Mediterranean (Spain and Italy) and in
 Brazil; Immanuel Wallerstein's world press echo includes France, Germany and
 Austria; while Samir Amin's work has been received most actively in the
 media of the world's South.
 
 The echo in all the languages of Reuters Business Briefing over the last 3
 years on important authors in the world system tradition was:
 
 Samir Amin         93 articles
 Immanuel Wallerstein       71 articles
 Andre Gunder Frank     24 articles
 Giovanni Arrighi           16 articles
 the late Otto Kreye        7 articles
 Christopher Chase Dunn     5 articles
 
 Articles in English only were distributed as following:
 
 
 Samir Amin         32 articles
 Immanuel Wallerstein       29 articles
 Andre Gunder Frank     23 articles
 Giovanni Arrighi           4 articles
 the late Otto Kreye        1 article
 Christopher Chase Dunn     5 articles
 
 Thus the coefficient of Anglo-Centricity in the reception of world system
 theory (English language reception in the world press per total world press
 reception, i.e. Table 2 divided by Table 1) was:
 
 
 (hope that table comes out well!)
 
        total world press echo  
            english language echo   
                english echo per total echo in %    
 
 Amin       93  32  34,4    
 Wallerstein    71  29  40,8    
 Frank      24  23  95,8    
 Arrighi        16  4   25  
 Kreye      7   1   14,3    
 Chase Dunn 5   5   100 
 
 
 Thus the anglocentricity  of the reception of world system theory reception
 in the international press according to Reuters a
