You may find a rigorous economic critique of "Comparative Advantage" from
Marxian point of view in the homepage of my co-author Anwar Shaikh. If you
follow the link below you may find other related papers on international
trade, capital flows, exchange rate determination, etc. Enjoy them.

I find the work by Shaikh, Tonak and collaborators on this subject very
impressive and important. Here is a question: Shaikh does not seem to think
much of the concept of unequal exchange a la Emmanuel. Is that impression
correct? My reasons for thinking so are (1) I have not found a single
article by Shaikh on unequal exchange; (2) unequal exchange theory could
interfere with the internationalized value theory of labour of the
Shaikh-Tonak gang and may not be of interest to them (you) for that reason.
Can someone please comment?

By the way, thanks to Sherman and Stremlin for answering another query of
mine on Wallerstein - very interesting comments, indeed.
