Globalisation & Davos

jan 30th

white guys are having second thoughts about globalization when it turned out *not* to be colonialism by other means. they were expecting to rape and pillage under WTO, but the disruptive technology of the internet has really surprised them! amazing, what a simple technology can do.

this is sort of what happened with the european invention of the steam engine and big naval guns: that suddenly enabled them to go on the colonization spree.

the internet has created an inflection point which india can take advantage of.

in the long run, the us is very vulnerable.
