摘要
罗伯特.B.马克斯在《现代世界的起源》中从全球的、生态的角度对现代世界的起源进行了非欧洲中心论的阐释。在罗伯特看来,1800年以前,世界的经济中心在亚洲,亚洲与欧洲地位的变化发生于19世纪始自英国的工业革命。英国的工业革命纯粹由于便利的煤炭开采和殖民地,而在其他国家,政府起到了核心作用。走上工业化道路的西方国家把先进的技术应用于武器装备,对中国和非洲等地区进行疯狂掠夺,是这些国家工业资本主义得以顺利发展的重要条件。
In The Origins of the Modem World, Robert B. Marks presents a Non-Eurocentrism narrative of the origins of the modern world from global and ecological persPective. According to him, before 1800, the world economic center is in Asia, only surpassed by Europe in 19th century because of the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution in Britain is due to such accidents as convenient coal deposits and colony, as for other countries, the governments play a central part. These industrialized western countries harnessed the fruits of that early industrialization to military weaponry, and to use that new-found power against Asians and Africans, which provide the main means for the development in these countries.
