"Unequal development in the global capitalist economy: knowledge , monopoly, and monopsony" a talk by Dr. Dev Nathan, economist, Visiting Sc holar at The New School for Social Research, New York

This paper seeks to explain the nature and basis of unequal development in the contemporary global capitalist economy. It characterizes the current st ructure of the world economy as a combination of knowledge monopolies which also become monopsonies, largely located in the headquarters economies of the global North, with producer companies largely based on commoditized kno wledge in the supplier economies of the global South. This division of the knowledge economy and related profits affects accumulation and development in both parts of the global economy. Supplier economies can relatively easi ly acquire the commoditized knowledge of production and, thus, advance to m iddle-income status. The movement from middle to high-income status, howeve r, requires accomplishing the much more difficult transformation of becomin g a creator of knowledge that can be monopolized. Success in this transform ation of the economy, however, also leads to struggles over the geo-strateg ic reorganization of the world economy.
