Wealth production!
Jun 25, 2002, 12:54
Lord Lucan's right when he speaks of inequality. It is sometimes easy to get sucked in to the Blair talk of Globalisation benefitting everyone (who has become frightening Evangelical in the cause of Western Iperialism since Sept 11th - but I digress).

I'm reading John Pilger's book 'The New Rulers of the World' and there is a chapter dealing with Indonesia, which prior to 1998 had been used as a 30 year blueprint for Globalisation. The conditions in the 'factories' amount to forced Labour camps.

Millions & Millions are getting worse & worse off. Many in the West don't realise it. People in developing countries are producing goods which are owned by global corporations. They can be building Information Technology goods, but these are owned by western corporations. They don't own the goods they produce, nor the means of production so any Wealth Created flows directly to a rich corporate elite.
