Sorry, but a government pressuring and manipulating a foreign government for market access etc is NOT capitalism.


Did you watch the video? It had nothing to do with the government. It didn't actually say who the head was, but I bet it's the world bank.

The book says it's the NSA, which is an intelligence agency that deals with eaves-dropping, not business. Though the World Bank is mentioned a few times.
