Summary: The modern nation-states were created to suit the need of capital to accumulate. As the needs of the capital changed, the imperialist forces created the colonial system of nation-states. The operations of MNCs have recreated the old colonial hierarchy of spaces in new forms with the former imperialist countries on the top and the neocolonies at the bottom. Thus, the advanced countries create and maintain the hierarchy of spaces while the less developed ones produce things in space. The book examines the subtle mechanisms of globalization and its effects namely, adding wealth and prosperity to few while misery and devastation to societies in Asian, Latin American and African countries and especially India. The book shows that globalization perpetuates and worsens the already existing uneven development in the world.
