The minute division of labour in the production process,and increasing interdependency in trade and economy is evident in the financial crisis afflicting us at the end of this century. Economic activity is no longer purely a matter of production, trade and barter. It is a means to satisfy human desires of every kind. Within it, there is an element of unequal relationship between the strong and the weak.而生產分工精細化，貿易與經濟依存度提升的結果，從世紀末的金融風暴中可以看得一清二楚，經濟活動不再是單純的生產和交易、或互補有無的事情，而是人類滿足各種欲望的手段，其中包含強權與弱者之間的不平等關系。
