I hate this article so much. It makes it sound like a conspiracy theory. It doesn’t explain the organizations and laws explicitly made by the core to exploit the periphery, throughout the ages.

I should make an analogous page on prole wiki

Can anyone recommend materials describing and analysing world systems theory? Ideally for a lay person like myself.
