Notes:
One of the less emphasized strengths of a world systems approach to national societies is its critical comprehension of the limited possibilities of ruling groups transforming their societies into ones of socialist relations. One limit placed on the part by the whole, on nation states by a capitalist world market, is the impossibility of building “true” socialism. The imperatives of the world market force state power-holders to act in a capitalist manner, that is, to organize their society for competition in world exchange.
