literallt just this.
Capitalism DEMANDS Unequal Exchange. Notnonly to poor workers in The Global South get less of what they work for but also people in thr global north get less of their labour and its funneled to the billionaires. THIS is probably the most important issue in the world today other than Climste Change. THATS why I named myself this.
Jason Hickel et al. publisjhed two studies that you can find on Sci-Hub for free that talks about this. ALso Torkil Lauessen has a free audio bool on youtuibe titled 'Unequal Exchange' where he talks about just this issue.
