This book paves the way, advancing Geopolitical Economy as a new approach to the study of international relations and international political economy. Following on from the theoretical limitations exposed in Part I, in this volume the analytical limitations are explored.

This volume examines the recent advance of neoliberalism. It focuses on three current instances of neoliberalism from around the world as well as providing an in-depth study of Sraffa's works; a critique of Althusser's interpretation of Marxist philosophy, and a discussion of labor aristocracy.

Bringing together renowned political economy scholars, this volume analyzes two decisive factors in the world spread of capitalism: - a shift toward dominance of the financial sector; - global wage differentials so deep that recognition of a labor aristocracy cannot be avoided.
