Conversations With History: Parag Khanna

Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes Parag Khanna, Senior Fellow at the New America Foundation. Their discussion focuses on the emerging world order characterized by 3 empires—the U.S., the European Union, and China—and a rising Second World which because of globalization has greater opportunity for self definition internally and influence externally. Parag Khanna elucidates the shape of this new world and its implications for U.S. foreign policy. [6/2008] [Public Affairs] [Show ID: 14510]

Capitalism is the wage slavery of immense humanity in a politically manipulated MARKET SYSTEM OF ARTIFICIAL SCARCITY ,a tyrannical,destructive system to perpetuate poverty and exploitation in the interest of the ruling class. Capitalism from its Genocidal killings of native Americans to the mercantile plundering and enslavement of African natives to its Millitaristic rise of European Powers to World wars and Financial serfdom of the world has been a DISASTEROUS imposition .

Not only Obama, but all world leaders should be aware of these opinions. The theories of Huttington and Fukuyama have become obsolete, thus US, the EU, China, Brazil, Russia, India and, in fact, the whole planet, should pay far more attention to these new perspectives. They do reflect, by far, a world reality that unfolds before our eyes... and we MUST be prepared to adapt or fade away.
