Is it finally becoming obvious that globalization the way Milton Friedman and the ChicagoSchool boys saw it shock and awe, conquer and buy is just not going to work [4]? The world economy is in a meltdown and the dominoes are falling in Europe after the upcoming bailout of Greece. The effects are spreading to the far corners of the world. More and more countries were already turning their backs on the U.S. - Turkey, Russia, China, Iran,Syria, Lebanon and others have no use for the former Empire any more. And the Middle East is burning.
Was it maybe an illusion that the planet could be made into one huge corporation with the U.S. as its CEO?
Are the people in all parts of the world going to follow the example of the Greeks and put all business to a standstill unless they are given their rights? Is a people's revolution finally about to take the stage away from the usurpers?
