With globalization as a catalyst, hegemonic powers dependent upon neoliberal capitalism continue to exploit resources, locations, and humans for economic benefit. This research explores how states and corporations strategically force already vulnerable populations into further lives of precarity, all to extract surplus value to feed the capitalist machine. Employing World Systems and Decolonial Theory we seek to uncover the paths that corporations take to cut corners, exploit labor, and avoid regulations. Specifically, we will be comparing the evolution of the semiconductor industry in Southeast Asia with the maquiladoras in Mexico to illuminate the methodical exploitation of labor and the earth in the name of economic gain.

在全球化的推动下，依靠新自由主义资本主义的霸权继续为经济利益而开发资源，地区和人类。这项研究探索了州和公司如何从战略上迫使本已脆弱的人群过着不稳定的生活，所有人都从中提取剩余价值来养活资本主义机器。我们使用世界体系和非殖民地理论来寻求揭​​示公司偷工减料，剥削劳动力和规避法规的道路。具体而言，我们将比较东南亚的半导体产业的发展与墨西哥的墨西哥工厂的发展，以经济利益的名义阐明对劳动和地球的有条不紊的剥削。
