La llamada globalización neoliberal, cuya progresiva implantación se ha producido  a lo largo de las últimas cuatro décadas, propicia la acumulación mundial centralizada,  recurriendo para ello a  monopolios y oligopolios de ámbito trasnacional, con los que consigue acceder a nuevas áreas de explotación para obtener ganancias extraordinarias.

China rejects A Huge Vessel-Sharing Pact, And Carriers Move On

Even more remarkable than the proposed P3 space-sharing agreement among three of the biggest container lines was the speed at which they abandoned it, following its rejection by Chinese regulators.
