Focusing on the monopolization and exclusion of high-value knowledge, this book analyzes divergent and partially convergent income trends over the past 200 years within the global capitalist economy. It offers insights into the dynamics of wealth distribution and the implications of knowledge accessibility. The work is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core, broadening its reach to a wider audience.

The book critiques the prevailing civil society perspective that dismisses international trade, advocating for tailored trade rules that consider varying economic development levels. It emphasizes the need to transition from subsidies for uncompetitive sectors to investments that boost productivity. A significant focus is placed on empowering trade unions and women's organizations to adopt a global stance, enabling them to effectively counterbalance corporate power in the international arena.

This book is a unique intersectional analysis combining culture, gender struggles and structural including economic transformations, both in the formation of gendered class society, patriarchy and capitalism.
