Describing the rise of what he calls the \"Oriental West\", Hobson argues that Europe first assimilated many Eastern inventions, and then appropriated Eastern resources through imperialism. Hobson's book thus propels the hitherto marginalized Eastern peoples to the forefront of the story of progressive world history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51885238550816,"sku":"NEW0521547245","price":30.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/719mKtq-4xL.jpg?v=1781891241","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-eastern-origins-of-western-civilisation-0521547245","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
