Tooze argues that the rise of global economic governance cannot be fully understood without considering the historical context of sovereignty and empire. He traces the evolution of sovereignty from its origins in the medieval period to its modern manifestations in the post-World War II era.

Tooze also examines the role of empire in shaping the global economy. He shows how the European empires of the 19th and 20th centuries played a crucial role in establishing the institutions and norms of global economic governance.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part, "Sovereignty," explores the historical evolution of the concept of sovereignty. The second part, "Empire," examines the role of empire in shaping the global economy. The third part, "Global Economic Governance," traces the development of global economic institutions and norms.

Tooze's book is a major contribution to the study of international relations, political economy, and the history of capitalism. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the origins and evolution of global economic governance.
