ChrisMayLA6, The ever readable Kenan Malik joins the dots between exploitation of seafarers by P&O, globalisation & the success of Dubai (built on more exploitation of workers), to (rightly, to my mind) to re-emphasise that this all looks pretty much like the economics of class.
Call it what you will; global capitalism, corporate capitalism, neoliberalism, etc.
in the end the political economy of class relations never went away, it was just obscured.
