Abstract
This article argues that Marx, too, knew more about the future than his present.Indeed, far from being merely a theorist of mid-to late-19 th century capitalism, he elaborated the basic mechanisms, tendencies, counter-tendencies, contradictions, and social antagonisms that still shape capital accumulation and bourgeois societalization at the start of the 21 st century.While the prophetic nature of his critique of political economy holds for many aspects of his work, here I explore two that have important implications for North-South relations.These comprise his analysis of the world market as the historical presupposition and posit of capital; and, relatedly, its role in generalizing and intensifying the contradictions of capital on a world scale.The continued relevance of Marx's analysis often gets disguised by use of the term 'globalization' to describe the current world economy, with its implication that there is a break between the present economic order and earlier periods of mercantilism, free trade imperialism, and imperialism based on territorial conquest and trade blocs.While mercantilist and imperialist features remain, neo-liberalism and financedominated accumulation have radically changed how the world market operates.Accordingly, I consider how the recent wave of neoliberalization has promoted even more forcefully (and, in many cases, forcibly) world market integration under the logic of capital.Indeed, neoliberalization can be considered as a process oriented to the completion of the world market.This does not abolish North-South relations; but it does transform them in complex ways as well as modify relations within the South.This has raised worries about the economic, political, and social risks generated by growing inequalities of wealth, income, and life-chances.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
