World Systems Analysis
One of my main goals is to understand root causes, specifically with answering questions such as: How did we get here? Why is the world the way it is today?
Wallerstein's World Systems Analysis does a good job of covering some of the basics of the evolution of society from about 1600 on and he outlines what he thinks is the nature of the current crisis.
It's a quick read and comes in at only 70 pages or so. It is written
as kind of an intro into world systems theory.
