3. I discuss the rival claims of globalization later in this Chapter. But for a recent example of work aimed at countering the neoclassical interpretation of globalization — while leaving the term itself ill-defined, see R. Ghorashi (1995), ‘Marx on Free Trade’, Science & Society, Vol. 59, No. 1.

5. Also see, K. N. Chaudhuri (1990), Asia Before Europe. See especially p. 71–90 on the balance-sheet of great civilizations; p. 306–336 on ‘Asian’ capitalism and the constant restructuring of textile and metallurgical industries; and p. 354–366 on the political economy of Mughal India and other urban centres. Cameron additionally insinuates that all ‘high cultures’ sought to constantly restructure their industrial base in order to achieve or lengthen its hegemony over other social formations.
