Arrighi is so good. Adam Smith in Beijing is his followup where he goes "actually lol I was wrong about Japan, it's obviously China folks" and, while good, is not as good as the one you've read. The 18th Brumaire is perhaps my favorite Marx piece, because you get to see so clearly how his method of materialist analysis works with a real historical example. Plus, it's wonderfully written.
