This is what some have called the "spatial fix" to capitalist crisis.

Harvey has drawn attention to a different way of resolving crises of over-accumulation, which he refers to with the concept of ‘spatial fix’. This concept has two senses – one literal, the other metaphorical.

there can be no permanent 'outer' resolution or 'spatial fix' to the internal contradictions of capital

An expanded version of David Harvey’s concept of the spatial fix is helpful here for understanding this restructuring. Capital tried to resolve the problem of strong labor movements, and the threat to profitability that labor posed, by implementing a series of “fixes.”

To avoid having to confront domestic resistance, which can be politically costly, policymakers might solve a crisis of over-accumulation by resorting to a 'spatial fix'--in other words, by opening up new consumer markets, labour markets and investment markets abroad.

The primary objective is to overcome any possible blockage to the free circulation of capital across the world market. This opens up the possibility of cascading 'spatial fixes' to the capital surplus absorption problem.
