Modern capitalism

Japanese: 近代資本主義 - きんだいしほんしゅぎ
Modern capitalism

...This view is based on the concept of the "economic world" of French historian F. Braudel and the ideas of the "dependency" school (dependency theory) of AG Franck and S.

Inside the system, functions are differentiated into a "core" region dominated by free wage labor, a "periphery" historically centered on some kind of "forced" labor, and a "semi-periphery" in between. ...
