Empire's ideology of control

«Not only is the case for president Bush's 'opinion' that 'free trade is good for both wealthy and impoverished nations' empirically feeble; there is plenty of evidence that rich countries, starting with the United States, have no intention of playing by the trade rules and strictures they foist on poorer, weaker countries as 'a single sustainable model'... Theirs is not an ideology of freedom or democracy. It is a system of control. It is an economics of empire.»
