Axial Division of Labour

*An alliance of convenience exists between the large, quasi-monopolising firms and the strong states. These strong and oppressive states are called Core States
* The globally oppressed Peripherals are poor because they cannot compete with the Corer firms. This is due to quasi-monopolising measures used by the Corer firms and states, during their alliance of convenience. The game of the quasi-monopolising firms can only be played from within the political fortress of a Core State, and the Core State can only maintain its high political status through the technological bounty offered by the quasi-monopolising firms. This interdependency maintains the Core's global supremacy.
*What we mean by core-periphery is the degree of profitability of the production process. Core-like processes gradually become globalised Peripheral processes, while the Cores remain as centres of "advanced" manufacturing processes. For instance, silicon chip evolution will maintain that certain production processes occur only in Core States
*Core firms are therefore continuous victors in the endless accumulation of capital, whereas Periphery firms are continuous losers. Core political supremacy is maintained through the economic supremacy gained by Unequal Exchange.
