Also connects to world-systems theory (Wallerstein). — connects to: Nomadism among peripheries abolishes the very notion of center and periphery — Édouard Glissant, Poetics of Relation, 211; Currency independence alone cannot succeed without a self-centred development model; Building autonomous objective culture resembles economic takeoff into self-sustaining growth — Georg Simmel, on individuality and social forms_…, 87
