活動敘述

This week traces the structural foundations of global capitalism and the enduring division between core and peripheral economies.
Immanuel Wallerstein’s world-systems theory situates capitalism as a historical system that emerged in early modern Europe and expanded through colonial extraction, creating enduring hierarchies between wealthy core states and resource-dependent peripheries.Contemporary research on ecologically unequal exchange extends this framework, showing how environmental harm and resource depletion are disproportionately exported to poorer regions through global value chains. Siddharth Kara’s investigation into cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo offers a concrete example: modern green technologies depend on exploitative labor and hazardous extraction hidden from consumer societies.
Naomi Klein’s No Logo exposes how multinational corporations consolidate power by hollowing out public institutions, suppressing labor rights, and turning culture itself into branded property. Taken together, these readings reveal how global capitalism relies on invisibilized labor, environmental sacrifice zones, and asymmetrical power relations. This week reveals the ways in which inequality is built into the system, and is deliberately perpetuated to this day.
