Features: This outstanding book presents a novel approach, aiming to "explain current historical changes from the perspective of the correspondence between power and production." The author also offers insightful perspectives on the conditions under which one world order may give way to another, as well as the role of the state in the formation and development of the national economy. The book seeks to study power relations in society and world politics from the angle of power relations in production. Labor is a fundamental activity that influences a series of other important interpersonal relationships and the organization of the entire society. The research in this book takes this as a major premise, exploring the relationship between labor and politics under its guidance, and on this basis, proposing appropriate concepts and arguments. Therefore, the book suggests not only a research method for labor but also a research method for the formation of the state and world order.
