While proponents of globalization believe that exporting free markets and democracy to other countries will increase peace and prosperity throughout the developing world Ms. Chua shows that just the opposite has happened. When global markets open, ethnic conflict worsens and politics turns ugly and violent. She gives examples from around the world of how free markets do not spread wealth evenly throughout the whole of developing societies. Instead they produce a new class of extremely wealthy individuals who are almost always members of a minority group such as Chinese in the Philippines, Indians in East Africa, and whites in Latin America. These wealthy minorities then become a target of violent hatred. Adding democracy to this volatile mix unleashes suppressed ethnic hatreds and brings to power ethno-nationalist governments that pursue aggressive policies of confiscation and revenge. Ms. Chua further shows how individual countries are often viewed as dominant minorities, explaining the phenomena of ethnic resentment in the Arab-Israeli conflict and the rising tide of anti-American sentiment around the world. She believes that this more than anything accounts for the visceral hatred of Americans that has been expressed in recent acts of terrorism. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/174375-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/174375-1 Fri, 28 Oct 1994 00:00:00 GMT H.W.

In it, he outlines the new power realities in the world today, and the challenges facing American leadership. According to Mr. Mandelbaum, three ideas currently dominate the world: peace as the preferred basis for relations between different countries, democracy as the optimal way to organize political life, and free markets as the vehicle for the creation of wealth. While not practiced everywhere, these ideas have, for the first time in history, no serious rivals. And although the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 were terrible and traumatic, he argues that they did not "change everything," as so many commentators have asserted. Instead, these events served to illuminate even more brightly the world that emerged from the end of the Cold War. In [The Ideas That Conquered the World], Mr. Mandelbaum describes the uneven spread of peace, democracy, and free markets from the wealthy and powerful countries of the world's core, where they originated, to the weaker and poorer countries of its periphery. And he assesses the prospects for these ideas in the years to come, giving particular attention to the United States, which bears the greatest responsibility for protecting and promoting them, and to Russia, China, and the Middle East, in which they are not well-established and where their fate will affect the rest of the world. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/173268-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/173268-1 Fri, 28 Oct 1994 00:00:00 GMT Professor Ha-Joon Chang talked about his book, [Bad Samaritans:The Myth of Free Trade and the Secret History of Capitalism]. He argued against unregulated international trade. He contended that the gross domestic product (GDP) of many developing countries was higher prior to deregulation and that the pressure of countries such as the United States and Britain to follow this model is false since these countries built their economies with the assistance of government intervention. He responded to audience members' questions. Ha-Joon Chang is a faculty member in Economics at the University of Cambridge. Mr. Chang has been a consultant for several organizations, including the Asian Development Bank, the World Bank and the United Nations.
