The article discusses the incorporation of vast new zones into the world economy during the period 1750-1850. The author notes that in the course of the renewed economic expansion of the period 1733-1817, the European world-economy broke the bounds it had created in the long sixteenth century and began to incorporate vast new zones into the effective division of labor it encompassed. It began by incorporating zones which had already been in its external arena since the sixteenth century-most particularly and most importantly, the Indian subcontinent, the Ottoman empire, the Russian empire, and West Africa. These incorporations took place in the second half of the eighteenth and the first half of the nineteenth centuries. The pace then accelerated and, eventually by the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth, the entire globe, even those regions that had never been part even of the external arena of the capitalist world-economy, were pulled inside. The incorporation process derived from the need of the world-economy to expand its boundaries, a need which was itself the outcome of pressures internal to the world-economy.
