Abstract
Alan Wood is right to argue that global history needs an organizing framework, and the systems history he proposes has a number of virtues. But it also has a significant weakness-it cannot help historians make causal arguments. There is an alternative framework that does not have this disadvantage- economics-and historians should consider it as well.
