Abstract: The Unequal Exchange between Nations: We introduce the various forms of the unequal exchange between nations. The unequal exchange, at first economic and concerning labour, is also ecological and monetary. We insist on the economic form, but the explanation differs from Arghiri Emmanuel. The ecological and monetary forms of unequal exchange are associated to the economic form. We insist on the economical unequal exchange that entails three sides: dominating countries perceive a rent on imports from low-salaries countries, a surplus-profit on some exports towards these countries, and FDI revenues. An application shows that an important part of the profit of France is coming from low-salaries countries.
