W's style is not Globalization European style. It is Capitalistic Style Globalization. A very big difference for now and the future!

A bumpable point worth remembering.

His CAFTA/NAFTA shtick isn't "we-are-the-Borg" type collectivism. It's more about Park Avenue robber barons/baronesses and other rent-seekers buying up public infrastructure cheap on five continents, using "access", and then charging "all the traffic will bear" ("capitalism" done Orren Boyle's way, to invoke an Ayn Rand character from Atlas Shrugged) to rent back to us systems and assets we and others previously owned.

It isn't "ethical" or "radical" entrepreneurial capitalism, Ayn Rand's way. It's more like the access/crony-capitalist, wealth-storage SOS that kept the Middle East a flyblown pile of camel-dung for 5000 years, and until recently graced the economy and society of Nicaragua under the Somoza family.

Capitalism if not restrained or ruled by some moral principles is little better than Communism, when all is said and done.

If profit is God, greed becomes the guiding principle, to the detriment of many.
