unequal exchange enables a “hidden transfer of value” from the global South to the global North, or from periphery to core, which takes place subtly and almost invisibly, without the overt coercion of the colonial apparatus and therefore without provoking moral outrage.
Prices are naturalized on the grounds that they represent “utility”, or “value”, or the outcome of “market mechanisms” such as supply and demand, obscuring the extent to which they are determined by power imbalances in the global political economy.
Price differentials in international trade therefore function as an effective method of maintaining the patterns of appropriation that once overtly defined the colonial economy, allowing blame for “underdevelopment” to be shifted onto the victims.
This pattern remains entrenched despite the fact that, with the rise of neoliberal globalization in the 1980s, manufacturing has shifted overwhelmingly to the global South, to the point where Southern countries contribute the vast majority of the world’s industrial labour and industrial production (Smith, 2016).
Northern appropriation from the South comprises resources and labour embodied not only in primary commodities but also in manufactured goods, including high-technology products such as smartphones, computer chips, cars, designer fashion, etc., along with intermediate parts.
Most of this appropriation occurs through global commodity chains, wherein Northern firms deploy monopsony and monopoly power to depress Southern suppliers’ prices at every node, from extraction to manufacture, while setting final prices as high as possible (Suwandi, 2019, Clelland, 2014).
