在这本书中，社会学家威廉罗宾逊提供了一个全球化的理论，遵循一个新的资本主义阶级的崛起-和一种新型的国家形成。他解释了全球资本流动如何使资本能够根据一系列考虑因素在全球范围内重组生产，从而使盈利机会最大化。这种生产过程的世界范围的分散化和分散化，是与跨国资本对全球经济的指挥和控制的集中化同时发生的。反过来，这种经济重组在跨国国家的崛起中找到了政治上的对应。罗宾逊认为，在未来，霸权将不是由一个特定的民族国家行使，而是由新的全球统治阶级行使，这些统治阶级无论国籍如何，都倾向于分享相似的生活方式，并通过这个跨国国家不断扩大的网络进行互动。这样，全球化进程正在将世界统一为一种单一的生产方式，这种生产方式正在日益将不同的国家和地区纳入一个新的全球经济和社会。罗宾逊的结论是，由于新的全球资本主义充满了矛盾，21世纪可能会在新的跨国统治集团与不断扩大的穷人和边缘化群体之间发生持续的冲突和控制权争端。
In this book, sociologist William Robinson offers a theory of globalization that follows the rise of a new capitalist class - and a new type of state formation. He explains how global capital mobility has allowed capital to reorganize production worldwide in accordance with a whole range of considerations that allow for maximizing profit-making opportunities. This worldwide decentralization and fragmentation of the production process has taken place alongside the centralization of command and control of the global economy in transnational capital. In turn, this economic reorganization finds a political counterpart in the rise of the transnational state. In the future, Robinson argues, hegemony will be exercised not by a particular nation-state but by the new global ruling class who, regardless of their nationality, tend to share similar lifestyles and interact through expanding networks of this transnational state. In this way, the process of globalization is unifying the world into a single mode of production that is increasingly integrating different countries and regions into a new global economy and society. Robinson concludes that, because the new global capitalism is rife with contradictions, the twenty-first century is likely to harbor ongoing conflicts and disputes for control between the new transnational ruling group and the expanding ranks of the poor and the marginalized.
