The Neoliberal Tide I: The New Global Capitalist System and its Global Society

By Alvaro J. de Regil

This is the first of two essays discussing the actual neo-capitalist assault in the last twenty years. Its purpose is to explain how MNCs have overtaken democracy and dictate the policies of governments for their benefit. The essay opens by asserting that the change of economic paradigm in the U.S. was not intended to be a domestic policy but, rather, an instrument of foreign policy to recover the U.S. imperial lustre and enable its corporations to increase and consolidate U.S. power into the new century.
