They are vehicles of capitalism. Good and bad are simply sticks in the mud to capitalism.

I think there are some really big problems facing humanity that the style of unguided capitalism we have now is very unlikely to solve very well.

People argue that under the control of regulation and enforced direction capitalism performs less than optimally, therefore it should not be regulated. If you consider growth in every area in which it is viable to be optimal behaviour then this is a sensible argument. That sounds like a cancer to me.

I think a little management of the direction of our growth as a species is important. The trouble is, no powerful nation on earth is fit to be allowed to take this lead right now.

Edit: I'd allow the EU.

No, I don't think that the crubles that are falling down from the top of the pyramid are enough. Obviously, a great percentage of the worlds population is starving and an even greater percentage is malnutritioned, as well as that other basic human rights aren't fullfilled as the right of way is not in the favour of humans but in the multiplication of the currency.

Strangely, different pyramid scemes are fought by governments around the world as they are very unjust, but the biggest one of them all is now day not evern questioned but rather considered as "the only way".

Take also into consideration that the IMF, WTO and the World Bank are spoken of as organizations non partial to any governent but are practicly, and of course unoficially, run by the US State Department. So, not only are they forcing countries to use a neo liberal capitalistic system, instead of allowning those countries to follow the vote of their people, but they are also the tools of a specific nation. Tools for world dictatorship.



$tinkle, I'm almost sertain that the IMF or the WTO aren't considered or claim to be NGO's. The NED claims to be but they are funded by the US government...
