<<victor, would you agree or not that capitalism is becoming more pervasive around the world in the last few decades?>> yes Would you agree that it is harder to exploit the masses the more capitalist a society becomes? would you also agree that the more capitalism that people are exposed to, the greater their standard of living and the more resources they will consume? >> yup, but OTOH efficiency in the consumption of resources also goes way up, so don't ignore that. <<my point is that global capitalism is taking shape and it's accelerating. this will place an increasing demand and need for basic commodities. the 1st part I agree with, but demand for commodities will decline as so many economies around the world have slower growth, no? China may not slow down as they are so huge internally, but there is a huge slowdown in growth going on just about everywhere else so I wouldn't count on an explosion of demand for commodities. Esp if we (US, Lat Amer, Europe, etc)actually shift into reverse and have negative growth.
