Immanuel Wallerstein's "The Modern World-System II: Mercantilism and the Consolidation of the European World-Economy, 1600-1750" is a seminal work published by Academic Press in 1980. This trade paperback edition explores the intricacies of mercantilism and its role in shaping the European world-economy during the 17th and 18th centuries.

While the copyright page confirms the book's publication in 1980, the number line suggests it is not a first printing. This edition is a crucial resource for those interested in the historical dynamics of capitalism and economic systems. The book is in fair condition, with visible wear on the cover, but remains a valuable addition to any collection focusing on economic history and sociology.
