What is Imperialism in the Twenty-First Century: The Globalization of Production, Super-Exploitation, and the Crisis of Capitalism about?

Provides An Examination Of The Relationship Between The Core Capitalist Countries And The Rest Of The World In The Age Of Neoliberal Globalization. Deploying A Marxist Methodology, Smith Begins By Tracing The Production Of Certain Iconic Commodities--the T-shirt, The Cup Of Coffee, And The Iphone--and Demonstrates How These Generate Enormous Outflows Of Money From The Countries Of The Global South To Transnational Corporations Headquartered In The Core Capitalist Nations Of The Global North. From There, Smith Draws On His Empirical Findings To Theorize The Current Shape Of Imperialism. He Argues That The Core Capitalist Countries Need No Longer Rely On Military Force And Colonialism (although These Still Occur) But Increasingly Are Able To Extract Profits From Workers In The Global South Through Market Mechanisms And, By Aggressively Favoring Places With Lower Wages, The Phenomenon Of Labor Arbitrage. --from Publisher Description.
