In this important book, pre-eminent economic sociologist Volker Bornschier analyzes growth and development in the Old and New Worlds - the so-called 'developed' countries. He shows how sociological and political factors have a massive impact on economic change in those countries.

The book is a significant contribution to the burgeoning literature on social capital, trust and democracy and will be of interest to those in the fields of economics, sociology, politics and development studies.

Volker Bornschier is Professor of Sociology at the University of Zurich. He is the author of a number of important books including The Global Political Economy (Sage, 1999) and State-Building in Europe (Cambridge University Press, 2000)
