The book features Dr. Leslie Sklair, a Reader in Sociology at the London School of Economics, who presents his thesis, Sociology of Progress. Published by Routledge in 1970, it explores the concept of progress within a sociological framework, examining its implications and effects on society.
In this book, based on his highly successful Sociology of the Global System , Leslie Sklair focuses on alternatives to global capitalism, arguing strongly that there are other alternative futures that retain and encourage the positive aspects of globalization whilst identifying what is wrong with capitalism. The book will continue to offer a concise and illuminating treatment of globalization for all students and academics in understanding how the global system works.
