Capitalism and the market are presented as synonymous, but they are not. Capitalism is both the enemy of the market and democracy.

Global competition is about winners and losers.

When the institutions of money rule the world, it is perhaps inevitable that the interests of money will take precedence over the interests of people. What we are experiencing might best be described as a case of money colonizing life. To accept this absurd distortion of human institutions and purpose should be considered nothing less than an act of collective, suicidal insanity.

In the US, most progressives start to see the differences between internationalism and economic globalization.

There was a time in the United States when most of our financial institutions were local. Which essentially meant that local communities were able to create their own credit, or their own money, in response to their own needs. We still depended on banks, but it was a much more democratic process.

Our global economy is out of control and performing contrary to basic principles of market economics.

As an economy measures performance in terms of the creation of money, people become a major source of inefficiency.
