Class Objectives
/Class Outline
The global economic structure since the 1980s focused its source of wealth on service products. It is distinct as of global integration for an international currency, product and industrial capitalism. In addition, a way of “International Empire” from a credit system was introduced by the IMF and G20. These transitions into a global information economics system will be studied through Giovanni Arrighi’s Adam Smith in Beijing and discuss the continuity and intermittency of the global industrial economic system since the Industrial Revolution.
