New York, NY, U.S.A.: Cambridge University Press, 1999. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. This book traces historical processes from palaeolithic times to the present, providing an overview of the entire history of humanity; it takes its point of departure from Marx's theory of social evolution, but expands Marx's five stages of development to eight and, in contrast to Marx, denies that the transition from one stage to the next is necessarily marked by social conflict and revolution; the focus is not limited to the economic and socio-economic aspects of historical development, but also ethnic, cultural, religious, and military-technological factors; the author, an emeritus professor at the Institute of Oriental Studies at the University of St. Petersburg, denies that social evolution necessarily implies progress and shows how each progress is also a regress (blue pictorial cover with yellow & white lettering and Max Beckmann painting on the front; a bright, clean, tight copy)

A broad and ambitious study of the entire history of humanity which takes as its point of departure Marx's theory of social evolution. However, Professor Diakonoff's theory of world history differs from Marx's in a number of ways. Firstly he has expanded Marx's five stages of development to eight. Secondly he denies that social evolution necessarily implies progress and shows how 'each progress is simultaneously a regress', and thirdly he demonstrates that the transition from one stage to another is not necessarily marked by social conflict and that sometimes this is achieved peacefully and gracefully. . 1st Paperback Edition.
