Secondary source excerpt (world-systems theory): In Wallerstein's world-systems theory, the global economy is structured into a core of high-wage, capital-intensive states, a periphery supplying low-wage labor and raw materials, and a semi-periphery that mixes both roles and can stabilize the system by absorbing pressure from the extremes. In a class simulation, Country X exports copper and coffee, relies on foreign-owned mines, and has low wages; Country Y designs microchips and provides financial services; Country Z assembles electronics for export but is also developing its own domestic firms. Which option best applies world-systems theory to these countries?
