Few social scientists have the urbane vision and capacious intellect of Mauro Guill�n. His dissection of the shock inducing and absorbing features of our interconnected world system vividly details the risks we presently face, but also paves the way for steps that could cushion the present volatility. (Walter W. Powell, Stanford University)

A brilliant critical engagement with different interpretations of what makes a system prone to failure. The author develops a multi-level and multi-nodal analysis that allows him to single out strategic sources of systemic instability and to demonstrate what can be done. (Saskia Sassen, Columbia University, author of Expulsions)

A fascinating perspective on the sources of instability in the global system. Professor Guill�n brings to bear powerful concepts from the study of system complexity. A must read for anyone interested in financial markets, international migration, and the rise or fall of nations. (Simon Johnson, MIT Sloan School of Management and former IMF Chief Economist)

That our increasingly interdependent system of nations is suffering from regular bouts of instability is as obvious as it is alarming. The Architecture of Collapse offers a lucid and very original analysis of the causes and remedies of this worrysome trend. Is a must read for policymakers and academics and anyone interested on a more stable work (Mois�s Na�m , Carnegie Endowment, author of The End of Power)

This book offers a sobering analysis of the risks facing the global economy, from population aging to financial inter-connections. The policy recommendations are important and timely. (Lady Barbara Judge, CBE)

A fascinating book explaining the risks afflicting the global system. The chapters on the Great Recession and the Euro Zone provide a rich analysis based on new metrics. (Jean-Pierre Rosso, Chairman, World Economic Forum USA)

This big-think book provides an innovative lens to the study of economic globalization. A sociologist, Guill�n (Wharton School) skillfully navigates a multidisciplinary interrogation of the increasing fragility of the global economic system. (Patrice M. Franko, Colby College)
