[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 937398, member: 2189"] Going back to the first post and what Amanpour had to say, would it be fair to say that the 2nd and 3rd worlds who are moving into the black markets or what you can call a free market (maybe not pure mind you), they do so not to manipulate the market but rather because others (connected to state privilege) have manipulated the legit markets that deny these people the ability to otherwise act in a free world of self determination? Seems to me that these people being poor for the most part, are finding freedom and self determination, this may speak more about what the free market is than anything else. In the textbook sense, it may not be the pure ideal we have in the western 1st world but the first principle of a free market is that it's free to be shaped in the way those who take part in it want it to be. You can have a true free market and it not even be capitalist to begin with which I know some of you can't wrap your heads around because you've bought the illusion that free market and capitalism are synonymous terms. Free market is as old as man first making trades of spear points or furs but capitalism in that name is less than 200 years. Amanpour's report shows that the world is beginning to vote on the global economic order dominated by western interests and they are rejecting economies of central planned nationstates and embracing the idea of freed markets of local scale. With micro tooling and open source engineering, once the 2nd and 3rd world realizes they can do so much for themselves outside the global economies, it truly is game over for global domination by a lone or an alliance of superpowers.
