William Robinson’s new article “The COVID Supply Chain Breakdown Can Be Traced to Capitalist Globalization” for Truth-Out traces the deeper roots of current supply chain problems:
“Behind this disruption of the global supply chain, however, is a larger story of capitalist globalization, which above all has involved the insertion in recent decades of every country into a new globally integrated production, financial and service system. This system is characterized by the fragmentation and decentralization of industrial production and distribution processes into numerous intermediate phases that are geographically scattered around the world.”
