its a topic i nominally understand but is honestly high fantasy to me whenever i try to understand it deeper and i think i need to read like a whole thing specifically dedicated to the concept to really for once wrap my head around it. ive seen a lot of debate on things like wages, super-exploitation, and currency differences that id really like to be able to settle in my head. thank you!
