My point was and still is it is a paradise for big global capitalist corporations. I truly hope that Asia can turn this machine around for the betterment of society but I do not see trading one enemy for another as freedom for any including Asia. The way I see it from a consumer standpoint we are talking about billions of potential consumers if plugged into the system.
Has anyone researched what happens to countries after they are brought into the world market, what happens to it's people, it's resources. Sure is nice to have that T-shirt or pair of shoes made by the hands of a person working shift after shift, limbs amputated without compensation, I could go on but it is horrific and makes me sick. Take that to a global level which is where the ptb want and see if you will enjoy it in ten years.
I think Mr. Fullford means well with his intentions but is being misguided by a desire to replace the system while admiral it must be replaced so that all people benefit and not a select few or a select continent. This is still far to close to what they want implemented for my taste, makes it easier for them to just take control.
John Perkins Confessions of an Economic Hitman is a excellent place to start into what is going on globally.

Naomi Klein also has some good information concerning corporations and the destruction of nations.
the age of the brand, logos are everywhere. No Logo, based on the best-selling book by Canadian journalist and activist Naomi Klein, reveals the reasons behind the backlash against the increasing economic and cultural reach of multinational companies. Analyzing how brands like Nike,The Gap, and Tommy Hilfiger became revered symbols worldwide, Klein argues that globalization is a process whereby corporations discovered that profits lay not in making products (outsourced to low-wage workers in developing countries), but in creating branded identities people adopt in their lifestyles.
Using hundreds of media examples, No Logo shows how the commercial takeover of public space, destruction of consumer choice, and replacement of real jobs with temporary work ½ the dynamics of corporate globalization ½ impact everyone, everywhere. It also draws attention to the democratic resistance arising globally to challenge the hegemony of brands.
