The  point is, short and sweet, that the core does not have a separate
"growth dynamic" from the periphery since core and periphery are part of the
same system.

IW argues that there is development of the system which results in core and
peripheral areas.   States don't have their own economies, hence they can't
have their own "logic of development."  What happens in part of the system)
is a result of the development of the whole system (including that part).

Again, one must focus on the meaning of a single division of labor in which
core and periphery have different roles.   If this basic observation is not
grasped, then the ws perspective can't be grasped.
