Premier amony the scholar Andre Gunder Frank's works is ReOrient: Global Economy in the Asian Age, which sought to correct a Eurocentric worldview of the development of the global political economy. As Gunder Frank continued his research, he realised that many of the myths of European industrialisation, hegemony, and capitalism hid the fact that Asia remained a serious power not just into the 18th century, as he argued in 1998, but also well into the 19th century. Gunder Frank's prescience is remarkable today as we see the continuation of Asian influences and ascendancy.
