But the subtext, Dennis, is that there is ONE capitalist
world-system and analysis has to BEGIN WITH the totality, and that

>What gibberish--the world-system with a hyphen is an obsession of those
Wallersteininian folks. Since when has nation states vanished and therefore
national competitiveness? It is premature to write off the state.
