The globalization of production and its shift to low-wage countries is the most significant and dynamic transformation of the neoliberal era. Its fundamental driving force is what some economists call “global labor arbitrage”: the efforts by firms in Europe, North America, and Japan to cut costs and boost profits by replacing higher-waged domestic labor with cheaper foreign labor, achieved either through emigration of production (“outsourcing,” as used here) or through immigration of workers.…

Marx criticizes how capitalism is all about the exploitation of the common workers. The Black Socialists also criticized how the car companies exploited their workers, especially on the African American group.

Unfortunately, the optimum world population level ranges from 1.5 billion to 2 billion humans (Vidal). Therefore, as a species, humans have tripled the number of people necessary to “guarantee the minimal physical ingredients of a decent life…[for] everyone .” (Vidal) Throughout “The Tragedy of the Commons”, by Garrett…

style of vampirism is symbolic vampirism. The “selfishness, exploitation, a refusal to respect the anatomy of another person(16).” Symbolic vampirism is not about blood-sucking creatures attacking the defenseless. In symbolic vampirism, people place their desires above those of others; they increase their strength by weakening those around them.

By exploring three features of the clothing industry in China, Jia delicately explores the monetary and imaginative options of not just factory…
