In this paper, we mainly study the Marx’s theory of international value and Wallenstein’s world market system and the summary of the two theories. Firstly the article introduces the background of the international exchange theory. Under the trend of globalization, the international exchange of inequality exists. The essence of economic globalization is the economic globalization of capitalism. Then we discuss the Marx’s theory of international value, and explain the basic point of the theory of unequal exchange. And then the article introduces the Wallenstein’s world system theory which analyses and critiques the unequal world system, explains the world capitalist system, system of social division of labor and the center-half edge-edge system, which reveals the capitalist development and underdevelopment. Then as the common point of the two theories, the article explains that the primitive accumulation of capital is the source of unequal exchange. Finally we start with the comprehensive analysis of the two theories, and analyze the international inequality and the present time. Criticize the contemporary international unequal exchange relationship.In the process of economic globalization, the economic benefits of the developed countries and developing countries are in great contrast, and in the form of seemingly impartial liberalization and fair world market, the essence of the unequal exchange is covered. The development of economic globalization means that capital, resources, technology, labor and other factors of production can flow and optimize the allocation of resources in the world, which is great news for the world economy and the world. It is true that economic globalization will help to expand the scale of the global economy, but generally believing that all countries can benefit from the globalization is obviously biased. Emphasizing the importance of today’s economic globalization, it is by no means a cover up of the contradictions and limitations. Economic globalization reflects the objective reality and the latest development of productive forces in the world means the necessity and progress of history. However, with the accelerating efficiency and benefits of the world economy, lack of fair and just is also a big problem. The development of globalization is currently accelerating, in essence it has the nature of non equilibrium. As the main body of the world economy, status and role of developed and developing countries in the globalization process is disparity and inequality, nevertheless the benefits of them. From the overall point of view, the non balanced economic globalization gives more contributes to promote the growth of wealth in developed countries than the developing countries. Then what reason can be used to explain the economic globalization benefits are not equal between developed and developing countries in the process of economic globalization. The Marx’s theory of international value and the Wallenstein’s world system theory as we explore the reasons of unequal exchange in the economic globalization provide great inspiration.By comparing the similarities and differences of two theories, through analyzing and combing of the Marx’s theory of international value and the Wallenstein’s theory of the world market, comparing their international exchange theory’s differences and common grounds, the article explains the international exchange theory’s background, theoretical content, theoretical significance and theoretical and practical significance. Under the circumstance of economic globalization, the international exchange of inequality is obvious. Does international trade really benefit all the participating countries as claimed? Analysis of the world economic integration of today’s developed countries and developing countries are facing with the unequal exchange of their own way out, how does the seemingly fair exchange of income cover up the hidden losses of developing countries.
