Capitalist Globalization as World-Historic Context: A Response (original) (raw)

The response addresses critiques of the author's previous essay, focusing on the rise of transnational elites within the context of ongoing capitalist globalization. The author argues for a dialectical understanding of globalization, emphasizing its continuous and conflictual nature, and contends that contemporary transnational elites exhibit integration without negating historical structures such as the nation-state. By examining the relationship between different global economic powers, notably the G7 and BRICS, the author suggests a nuanced perspective that prioritizes underlying socio-economic dynamics over superficial political tensions.
