Understanding global capitalism requires shifting analysis toward difference

Evidence

We need to bend the twig in the direction of understanding the full outcome of the new phase of global capitalism. And that is about difference, it’s about why the question of difference is so much on the table; it’s why religion has made a return; it’s why half the world feels as if it’s become the proletariat of the other half; it’s why so many people are left out; it’s why Africa is in such a terrible disastrous state, on and on and on. — Stuart Hall, Essential Essays, Volume 2, 1152
