Spreading Free Market to Iraq?,
By
This review is from: The Endgame of Globalization (Hardcover)
In the author's view, US is trying to spread capitalism and democracy to Iraq, and not for its oil. What a naive thought, why do US want to spread those to Iraq? Iraq is too small in term of market size and population.
US is build on individualism, and individualism is about consumer rights, not the suppliers'. US want to control the supply side of the oil to benefit its consumers back home (in a way by strengthening the dollar, so that dollar would remain a major reserve currency for the Asian Central Banks, and to be able to buy cheap imports from developing world, and also to be able to continue print the dollar). If US were really sincerely wanted to spread capitalism and democracy, it would choose a country with potential of a sizable market, i.e. China or India. Which would be easier to have bigger part of global population on its side of the American's ways. The author does not understand the bigger picture of current global politic and economy |
