Now, I for one would reformulate the last sentence as: world capitalism can no longer claim to be a fair, market-driven process. >>>>

Gus, without debating a merit of your apparent conclusion that international mega-concerns are no longer subject to the market rules, It is ironic conclusion in itself: Making rules as unfair as they maybe is still Market Economy, subject to shareholders hapiness/unhapiness, capital movement from sector to sector if not from country to country....What you are unhappy about with your USSR comparison (apples and oranges) is a collapse of the world currencies reflecting a dominance of US economy and greenback all as a direct result of the European/Asian propensity to abrogate Market Principles non-withstanding this ever present USSR example...Attempt to create Capitalism with the human face is just as purpousless as socialism hybrid...What woud happen to the lyon attempting to increase Zebra population by hunting 3 days a week..The greatest economic impact of USSR, other than arms race that eventually led to the phenomenal technological boom is that example, unfortunatly Europe was too slow to learn from it...
