1. 刚看过楼下老百姓先生的帖子，有两句话，不吐不快。其实在下也可算是芦笛先生的忠实读者，可是偶然也有像老百姓先生一样的感受。
老百姓先生提出的其实是“普罗泰哥拉悖论”的翻版：
※芦笛：“如果我不是网霸，你的指控便不能成立；如果我真的是网霸，你一定辩我不过，所以你是白费心机了。”
※老百姓：“如果你真的网霸，我的指控当然成立；如果你不是网霸，不是心里有鬼，就不用回避我的指控。”
这无疑是“审死官”的悬案。不过，如果由在下当裁判，芦笛先生又不肯答辩的话，我会判建老百姓先生胜诉。
2. 如果先生还相信全球经济一体化对发展国家来说是利多弊少，请看以下一篇由New Economic Foundation 做的研究报告，里面有实实在在的数据，可不是阴谋论啊！
GLOBAL “HOOVER EFFECT” SUCKING WEALTH OUT OF POOR COUNTRIES INTO THE U.S.
IN COUNTERBLAST TO IMF REPORT LEADING THINK TANK’S DATA REVEALS GLOBAL DRAIN OF RESOURCES FROM IMPOVERISHED NATIONS
As the World Bank and IMF hold their annual meetings to discuss the state of the global economy, nef has released groundbreaking data demonstrating that the global economy - as structured by western politicians and bankers - is acting as a giant “hoover”. The new analysis of global inequalities shows that globalisation is sucking wealth and resources out of the poorest countries and concentrating it in the hands of a few in the richest countries, particularly the United States.
The ‘Real World Economic Outlook’ is a new annual report released in Dubai today, Wednesday September 17th, at the Fairmont Hotel, which shadows the IMF’s World Economic Outlook. It is produced by Jubilee Research at nef, the team who spearheaded global awareness of third world debt, and published by Palgrave Macmillan.
Ann Pettifor, editor of Real World Economic Outlook said: “Despite much rigging of statistics, the “trickle down” effect has not been proven. Instead, as the World Bank’s own data illustrates, poor countries are lenders to the rich – unwittingly financing opulent living standards in the US and elsewhere.
“Orthodox textbooks teach us that with financial liberalisation capital should flow from where it is plentiful, to where it is scarce. Tragically, the reverse is happening today. This is a form of global theft of the world’s poor – and helps explain rising tensions in the world”.
Typical studies on inequality by the World Bank and the IMF only examine one part of global wealth - incomes. In nef’s annual report, Real World Economic Outlook, incomes and assets are analysed – and compared to rising levels of household, corporate and government debt.
Romilly Greenhill, senior economist at Jubilee Research and author of the RWEO analysis, said: “The rich on the whole, do not live from incomes. They make capital gains from assets. If you look at the distribution of assets and debts, you find that globalisation has generated massive wealth for the rich, and huge debts for the poor”.
According to the report, the “hoover effect " of the global economy is caused largely by an international financial structure skewed to benefit the rich. The dollar led construction of the international financial system means that poor and rich countries alike are obliged to keep financing the US deficit, through the purchase of US “IOUs” (Treasury Bills).
In the absence of a global key currency standard, the US Treasury Bill now plays the part that gold once played in the global economy. This system, according to nef’s report, has led to the increased transfer of resources from poor countries, and the concentration of wealth in rich countries. There is a net flow of $48 billion every year from the poorest people to the richest, easily outstripping annual aid grants of £32billion.
As financial instability increases countries are forced to hold high levels of US dollar reserves, usually in the form of US Treasury Bills. They are, in effect, making very low interest rate loans to the United States, while at the same time borrowing from abroad (including from the United States, the World Bank, and the IMF) at very high rates of interest.
Capital flight and outflows of Foreign Direct Investment, to the tune of $97.8 billion every year, leave poor countries for banks in Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States in particular. Some of this money is legal investments made by residents of developing countries in Northern countries, but much of it is illegal capital that finds its way into the accounts of all too willing banks in the North.
As the Jubilee 2000 campaign made clear, developing countries are transferring huge amounts of precious resources to their creditors in rich countries. In 2002, they transferred almost $1 billion in debt service every day to their rich country creditors: more than seven times the volume of global aid flows.
Remittances of multinational corporate profits from developing countries where the company branches operate to headquarters in the rich countries – a further $55 billion in 2001.
