In three pages (or 750 words, double-spaced) please answer the following prompt:

With reference to Nixon’s chapter, briefly summarize and explain how one event from the film, “Life and Debt,” addresses the interdependency between markets in the Global North and South. How has our current global economy intensified historically uneven divisions of labour between higher-income and lower-income countries?

Your response should include at least two course concepts relating to global transformations (e.g., globalization, neoliberalism, neocolonialism, underdevelopment, “tourist/local,” faraway markets, market externalities, and/or “glocal”). Not explicitly engaging with both Nixon’s chapter and the film will result in a lower grade.
