MY INTEREST IN POLITICAL ECONOMY OF STATE FINANCE
1) THE POLITICAL MAKING OF HISTORY
====> HISTORY NOT AS THE RESULT OF NATURAL PROCESSES BUT AS THE RESULT OF
ACTIONS AND DECISIONS BY THOSE WHO HAVE ECONOMIC OR POLITICAL POWER
2) TRANSNATIONAL STRATIFICATION SYSTEM =====> POLITICAL ECONOMY AS IT RELATES TO
SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES AND DIFFERENTIAL GROUP OUTCOMES
{NATIONAL
AND GLOBAL ECONOMY, AND THE SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES AND OUTCOMES
ATTENDANT TO THE TRANSFORMATION OF ALL FORMS OF STATE INTERVENTION INTO MARKET
FUNCTIONS.}
[A]
FOR EXAMPLE, {AT THE LOCAL OR NATIONAL LEVEL} HOW CONFLICTS BETWEEN
DIFFERENT ELEMENTS OF THE URBAN POPULATION, NOTABLY SOCIAL CLASSES AND RACIAL
AND ETHNIC POPULATIONS, DETERMINED THE PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL CHARACTER OF THE
METROPOLIS.
[B]
FOR EXAMPLE, {AT THE INTERNATIONAL OR GLOBAL LEVEL}HOW THE GLOBAL RELATIONS
OF PRODUCTION AND INTERNATIONAL POWER RELATIONS IN THE GLOBAL NORTH
AND GLOBAL SOUTH LEAD TO NEO-COLONIALISM – TODAY, MULTINATIONAL
CORPORATIONS OPERATING WORLDWIDE HAVE RECONFIGURED A NEW AGENDA FOR IMPERIALIST
INTERVENTION, WHERE POOR NATIONS SUPPORT AND STRENGTHEN RICH NATIONS BY
PROVIDING INEXPENSIVE LABOUR, EASY ACCESS TO RAW MATERIALS, AND VAST MARKETS
FOR INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS.}.
