Vol. 50 No. 198 (2020): Global material flows and international division of labour.

Global inequalities have been coming to the fore again and again for decades - be it in connection with debt, commodity wars or migration movements. Prokla 198 now deals with the global dependencies of our economic order. The diversity of products manufactured in individual countries and their position in the international financial system are constitutive here, but no less relevant are political influence and colonial continuities. The texts focus on asymmetric material and resource flows that contribute to global economic and ecological inequalities.
