Thank you for very insightful analysis. All your pieces is fantastic.
I have been working on an article on production of surgical equipment in Sialkot for the western marked. I have been thinking that the levels of healthcare we have in the north is possible because of globalization. With deglobalization the first sector the feel squeeze is healthcare. Its "crisis" in some parts of western healthcare (not compared too global south).
Healthcare is thought about as a service sector but its very resource intensive. "The health-care sector's share of the national footprint was highest for material extraction"
All this resources comes from the global south. Including child labour. One more example of the levels of healthcare in western countries made possible by exploitation. Conspicuous consumption is worse but healthcare has specific complications.
Fantastic piece. If I could add a request to you list it would be including the housing/real estate/land circuit of capital in your analysis of the world system. Thanks!

In degrowth movement they are talking about resources to healthcare but I am sorry to say that the needs is unlimited. The more we treat the more needs there is. https://tidsskriftet.no/en/2015/03/who-has-misled-trond-mohn
It is possible to gradually get better but with the cost of even more pollution such as PFAS an other endocrine disruptors. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00134-023-06994-0
