   At the dawn of the twenty-first century, in a time of momentous change -- from the Arab Revolutions to the Occupy Wall Street movement that inspired protests across the globe -- few scholarly contributions have proved more enduring or of greater contemporary relevance than the landmark interventions of Giovanni Arrighi, who passed away on 18 June 2009. The range of Arrighis prodigious contributions, from the study of white settler colonialism in Southern Africa, to the rise of Chinese-led East Asia, to his analyses of the global system, world inequalities and antisystemic movements from the late medieval period to the present, represent a truly impressive achievement (Arrighi et al., 2010; Reifer, 2009).

   The global value chain (GVC) perspective assumes that business firms' occupation of high value-added nodes in the global production network can promote their countries' socio-economic development. However, I argue that society-wide benefits that may follow from firms' profit-maximizing activities are often ephemeral. Over time the middle class can shrink, and economic inequality can increase even when firms continue to move up to higher value-added niches and garner huge profit. I illustrate this disjunction between business activities and societal development with Apple's strategies of tax avoidance and reduction from the Obama to the Trump administration. I then draw on the theoretical framework that Giovanni Arrighi sets out in The Long Twentieth Century and ideas from The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus to analyze the Apple case. As my analysis makes clear, the flawed assumption of the GVC perspective reveals its practitioners' failure to recognize that within global capitalism, permanent and sustained societal affluence is unlikely, and what exists instead is a constant alternation between prosperity and disparity.
