'There is an ideological battle going on over capital controls, and it is huge'- World Bank senior advisor on capital markets and Asian specialist, 10.01 1998 Excerpt from" The Gathering World Slump and the Battle Over Capital Controls" By Robert Wade and Frank Veneroso New Left Review http://www.globalpolicy.org/socecon/global/newleft.htm janice Globalisation is not about trade. It is about power and control. It is about the reshaping of the world into one without borders ruled by a dictatorship of the worlds most powerful central banks, commercial banks and multinational companies. It is an attempt to undo a century of social progress and to alter the distribution of income from inequitable to inhuman.
