Faustian Man in a Multicultural Age
Indo-Europeans Were the Most Historically Significant Nomads of the Steppes
This paper contrasts the historical significance of the Indo-European to the non-Indo-European nomads. The impact of such nomadic peoples as the Scythians, Sogdians, Turks, and Huns never came close to the deep and lasting changes associated with the ‘Indo-Europeanization’ of the Occident. While Indo-Europeans were not the only people of the steppes organized as war bands bound together by oaths of aristocratic loyalty and fraternity, they thorou…
The Uniqueness of the West Reinforced
This paper defends the ‘Kurgan hypothesis,’ the uniqueness of the epic heroic poetry of Indo-Europeans, and the uniqueness of Western civilization generally. The term ‘uniqueness’ is defined and associated with cultural creativity rather than with global economic and military dominance only

Reply to Mark Elvin
I was quite pleased to learn that a respected scholar of Chinese history, Mark Elvin, had written a review essay of my book Uniqueness of Western Civilization (2011). Elvin's estimation is that Uniqueness is an alpha-delta book--with some very good and some unnervingly bad He sees a fundamental cleavage between those who explain rise of West in terms of some deep-seated quality in Europe's culture going back to ancient times, and those who stress…

Defending the rise of western culture against its multicultural critics
It is only in Western Europe that the whole pattern of culture is to be found in a continuous succession and alternation of free spiritual movements; so that every century of Western history shows a change in the balance of cultural elements, and the appearance of some new spiritual force which creates new ideas and institutions and produces a further movement of social change (Christopher Dawson)
Rodney Hilton and the Peasant Road to 'Capitalism' in England
Arguing that Rodney was an original thinker among British Marxists, this article examines his historiographical approach to the English medieval peasantry, and in particular his contribution to the transition debate. As a consequence of their focus either on landlord enclosure or on the role of merchant capital, Marxists such as Dobb and Tawney maintained that the prosperous peasants who emerged towards the end of the fifteenth century bacame the…
The Post-Malthusian World Began in Western Europe in the Eighteenth Century
Eurocentrism and Historical Variety
Between Sinocentrism and Eurocentrism
Numerous theories have been advanced explaining the transition from feudalism to capitalism in western Europe, frequently by Marxists in the pages of Science & Society. Recently, however, a new group of world historians have mounted a concerted empirical attack on this “Eurocentric” perspective. They argue that as late as 1750–1800 China was the dominant player in the world market, and that its agriculture was more efficient and productive than E…
The Industrialization of Puerto Rico, 1948-1980
This paper is a study of Puerto Rico's development experience from 1948 to 1980. It examines the triadic articulation of colonial, neocolonial and industrial status that has characterized this development, in terms of two major contending schools of imperialism and development: the classical Marxist and dependency theories. Taking Puerto Rico as a case in point, the paper argues that both classical and dependency theories have tended to give a on…
