Well, I know one thing for sure, the West will surely have more foreign resources to OWN. Human rights and living conditions were always a second thought.
A lot depends on how it is implemented. So far, we have a lot of improvement to make.
Perhaps, only time will tell.
If you think this is capitalism then you seriously need to check your definitions. I'd call America's system corporatism (watered down fascism) and Europe's system welfare socialism (watered down communism).
And Americans can look forward to $.50 an hour, with no medical or other benefits. Globalization benefits us all!
^Nope, it benefits some and leaves losers like you who spend their lives on the net behind.
Human nature being what it is, I doubt it seriously. Money can do a great many things, but changing the human soul is an iffy proposition.
The whole world has turned capitalist? That's great news for the kleptocracies of africa and south america, the communist regimes in asia and elsewhere, and the socialst democracies of western europe. No, the whole world hasn't gone capitalist, not by a long shot.
And yes, living conditions under a capitalist state are far better than those under any other. Does it garuantee an easy life free from harm? No, if you want that you were born on the wrong planet. Does it garuantee a reasonably safe life with the oppurtunity to improve your lot in life? Yep.
Capitalism by any other name still smells like shit
Not United States, but critical states;
Not a borderless world, a world of fractal borders;
Not one currency, an m-currency;
Not global monoculture, a diversely-identical metaculture;
Not English as the imposed onelanguage, Musculpt as universal metalanguage.
South America , Japan, Vietnam , Africa , India. They are installing it. The British/US are finished
Lets see if we can get that average age back up to a disease free 170 or so
Where it once was
"In 1992, at East-West Center on the University of Hawaii campus, a small conference was held on Vietnamese-Japanese trade relations. The discussion was lively. The Japanese government is incapable of making a decision! -- in absence of gaiatsu, foreign pressure. This combative proclamation drew an unexpected rejoiner. Japanese governance challenges the notion that politics need be a decision science. Ha! Ha! Ha! guffawed the crowd. A good joke. No, I’m serious. General confusion. Looks of perplexity and a collective “What?” The decision-need in a political corpus is a function of inherent conflict. Japanese identity constructs postulate low levels of inherent conflict and therefore entertain small decision-needs. A moment of silence. But that’s ridiculous! Decisions need be made, regardless. The response was immediate. Wrong! Biological systems exhibiting quantum properties are decision-free systems. At critical states, the correlation-length between apparently distinct entities goes to infinity and order arises spontaneously. No decisions are required: alterations of the correlation-length reflect the changing identity state operative in the system. More confusion. But what does that have to do with economics, with allocative decisions? Resource allocation can transpire only through decisions. Again the rejoiner. Not so! Coherent modes in quantum biochemical processes are deeply involved in organizing metabolic pathway behavior. Which is resource allocation in biological systems. Gathering anger and a sense of being personally attacked in the voice of the respondent. I haven’t the slightest idea what you are talking about! How could this have anything to do with how the market functions to distribute scarce labor and natural resources? The response came calmly, this time. The capitalist market has a low level of self-organizational competency compared to quantum systems, because the economic exchange unit does not carry holistic information comparable to that carried by an electron. The only way to overcome this limitation is to start using a multivalued exchange unit in market-mediated economic processes. General lack of comprehension. Whatever that might be!

Already has. It is far from perfect. There are many problems. But on average the health and wealth of all the world's people has grown tremendously. Now for the fruits that point to Darfur, Rwanda, Pakistan etc.
'It hasn't turned capialist' - really? everywhere I look I see free-marketeering. One may say that this is not true capialism or full free-market, but I have heard that kind of talk before, from communists. Many communists claim that there has never been a 'true' communist society or a 'full' Marxist one. Now I am hearing this of capitalism also? Maybe its because 'true' communism and capitalism are both Utopian idealism that don't stand a chance of being implemented from paper to reality.
