    Lovely, thanks for giving the context to these writers. Would you recommend a specific title of Arrighi?

      The Long Twentieth Century is his masterwork. You can download it on libgen here: http://libgen.is/book/index.php?md5=29D7C571FCF28AE2A1E09BF9476F8579 He also has a book called Adam Smith in Beijing, which is about how capitalism in China followed a more "natural" path because the state still controls capitalists and was not captured by it, which is how Adam Smith envisioned capitalism working. Fascinating work, but definitely start with the former.
