The Free Market Rules „OK‟
The Global Economy is a reality
"There is a growing recognition that
the current turmoil in the financial
system cannot be solved through
piecemeal responses at the national
and regional levels but requires a
coordinated effort at the global
level,”
UN General Assembly President Miguel d'Escoto 22.10.08
“As the world economy moves steadily
away from production of goods in
specific geographical locations, into
production of services in the electronic
ether, it moves away from products that
historically have been held to
standards by public law and toward
activities where the unfettered market
rules.”
The Globalist 23.10.08
