@cocoron (b) usually happens first. Because of the information loss involved in commodification you can also think of it as an entropy generator. Financial industries create situations of information loss in order to then exploit them, and in the world system if enough information is lost through commodity relations then world war becomes likely.
Note that this is the opposite of the neoliberal view of trade bringing stability.
