Document Summary
See people give hair which is then auctioned off. Sorted in factory, then overseas to italy, further sorted. Then sold globally, partly to us bundle of hair for . Creates a class structure: the hindus donating their hair, the workers in the factory, the businessmen at the top (owner in italy capitalist) and upper class editor who bought it. Periphery: resources and labour to the benefit of the core. Also see how this global class system that capitalism creates is also reproduced within the countries themselves: within india: there is a wealthier elite and those that donated their hair. How does exploitation break down/pervades culture: global south and global north, women were doing most of the work and men that benefited (gender exploitation) You can pay them less and get away with it. Not all economic structuralists are marxists, however, all economic structuralists owe an intellectual debt to karl marx (1818-1883)
