That seems fair enough to me. To take this discussion right off-topic... I have some spare time at the moment, so I'm reading Immanuel Wallerstein's "The Modern World-System", among other things. A greater knowledge of history would help here, of course, as it is on the basis of macro-historical analysis that Wallerstein develops his theoretical position. His interpretation of history (via an engagement with the literature) is, not surprisingly, very controversial, but that's to be expected for many reasons.
