But maybe Asian unified space was taking shape at that time (cf. [Oxford: Oxford University press]} If the regularity and intensity of exchanges must be taken into account, it is obviously difficult to establish the threshold at which the integration of several world economies will allow them to constitute a single world-asystem.

    • It is process of growth,however, that tend to give rise to innovations. The use of inventions takes place only when it becomes profitable to invest in technological development. If it is true that a certain demographic density is necessary to allow for the development of more efficient transport, I do not agree with the position of Chase-Dunn and Hall ("Comparing World-Systems," p.98) that demographic pressure of is generally at the root of technological progress and is the reason for political expansion. In the case of agriculture, the spread of plants occured during moments of increased trade. In the seventh and eighth centuries, the Arabs transporred as far away as Spain fifteen types of vegetal spicies from the Indian peninsula. In the tenth century, the Sung dynasty promoted the introduction of rice varities from Champa, which made possible two harvests per year. However, while innovations in manufacturing, the realm of science, and "techniques of power" occur most often during moments of economic grow, or at the beggining of growth, it appers that innovations in agricultural domains also take place during phases of decline (indeed, because they provide solutions).

This is no doubt what happened during the phase of cooling of the Younger Dryas (ca. 11,000-9800 B.C.E.), which played a role in the development of agriculture and the domestication of plants in western and eastern Asia

    • These trends are even clearer in the economically growing Europian continent from the twelfth century. The discovery of Greek and Arabic philosophy and sciences (eleventh through twelfth centuries) is a prelude to the development of corporations and autonomous universities (self-governed) and to the initiation by R. Bacon and other scholars of the experimental method in sciences (thirtheenth century). Republican institutions of Italian city-state allow the individual - within certain limits - freedom of thinking and freedom of enterprises, which will develop in the fifteenth century during the Renaissance.

This debate ties in with the question of whether European states of the sixteenth century were qualitatively different from other states and if the logic of the system changed with the rise of modern Europe. It could be argued that the Netherlands in the seventeenth century, before England, represent the first example of a capitalist state. But, asks "Can the United Provinces be called a 'state'?"

    • The discovery of silver mines at Potosí (Bolivia) in 1545 and at Zacatecas (Mexico) in 1548 would, in the decades to come, greatly augment the silver supply in the trade circuits of the ancient world. Access to this silver, along with gold, enabled Europe to compensate for its commercial trade deficit with Asian states. The influx of precious metals also became a factor for growth in production and commerce in the Eurasian and African zones.

    • It is noticeable that the emergence of rational thinking in Greece took place in the context of city-states that developed democratic institutions. The Mohist Chinese wave of logician thinking appeared at die same period (fifth through fourth centuries B.C.E.), but it will not have die same posterity, because of very different political and social contexts (within a strong central state marked by Confucianism). As in the Greek cities of antiquity, some freedom of thinking along with liberty to conduct business existed in Sung China, with different kinds of limitations (the importance of external threats nevertheless constituted an inhibiting factor for growth in both cases). Freedom is restricted in Ming China by state power, based on a neo-Confucianist philosophy; in the Muslim world, by religious power itself.

Open to question, however, is Lacoste's contention that "in a country without feudal structures, merchants did not constitute a bourgeoisie," but were part of ruling aristocracy (pp. 260, 267)

    • Before broaching the topics of population increase and the resulting imbalances, Frank puts forward a seemingly paradoxical argument. The assets of Asian cores were also the source of their weakness: the growing supply of silver resulted in "increased purchasing power, income, and demand on domestic and export markets in the world economy. That presumably increasingly skewed the distribution of income, which could have led to constraints on effective demand and growing political tensions"

    • But why would the influx of money be extremely beneficial to Asian economies in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and then suddenly become nefarious in the eighteenth century? The argument makes sense only if it assumes a reverse in the cycle, induced by growing demographic pressure and a decline in the levels of profits. Frank emphasizes the unequal distribution of income in Asia, which I mentioned above. Other authors see a phase of decline in the seventeenth century, but the character of the recession of the mid-seventeenth century is still under debate. Was it a global event affecting the entire world-system or a more localized recession? Was it a slowdown at the end of a long phase or the second phase of a Kondratieff cycle? today rejects the idea of a generalized economic crisis in the seventeenth century
