>Is it possible for one of you to post a Recommended Reading list of good books on WS? I am sure many would appreciate it! I would.

for starters its Thomas R. Shannon, _An Introduction to the
World-Systems Perspective_ (Westview 1996).

the list could get very long, but the short version would have to
include:
Immanuel Wallerstein, _The Modern World-System, Vol 1._ (Academic 1974)
Andre Gunder Frank, _World Accumulation 1492-1789_ (Monthly Review 1978)
Giovanni Arrighi, _The Long Twentieth Century_ (Verso 1994)
