Synthesis
In the pages of this book its author, recognized worldwide for her books and analytical capacity, demonstrates with great narrative , a warning to the world , although the Report never existed, it is a clear assumption, an intellectual game of its great author, it is a complaint public to neoliberal globalization , in its essence one can clearly deduce some anonymous petitioners who are easily identified as the highest circles of the power of capitalism , the book is one of the best works of this author.
Content
The content of this book is a clear sample that the great designers and beneficiaries of neoliberal globalization can be thought to have gone to such an extreme of arrogance in believing that there are no rivals for them and their political and economic methods in the whole world , which is a serious mistake on the part of this elite, who, putting aside the rhetoric that camouflages their true reasons, express in cold logic and direct language their deepest and most essential thought, which is nothing more than “Maintain and develop the possibilities of liberal free market economy and the process, known in short, by the name of globalization, thus to deepen them ”.
The rhetorics are starkly examined and softened on human rights , democracy or other enchantments, the true and serious problems facing capitalism itself from neoliberal globalization are clarified in great detail in order to perpetuate itself and thus strengthen its dominance over the basis of the unshakable assumption that this system is the last and only alternative and that there is no other social system that can displace it from that position.
There is a concise explanation of the internal, determining and essential logic and the expression almost impossible to know since it hides behind the multiple traps of a codified speech , of the true rationality of today’s capitalism , that which, convinced of his “superiority” and “eternity” inevitably has to overcome obstacles and definitively solve the problems that affect him. For this reason and the dehumanized thinking of neoliberal capitalism, the only mention made of Cuba in its pages is to include it among some so-called countries with “Stalinist” power, however neoliberal capitalism is extremely concerned about the enormous growth of the economyChina , so it believes that it is essential to destroy the demographic pressures that those billions of hungry people who inhabit the land of which it is believed to be the owner represent for itself and thus kill them in a scientific way but always showing the true jaws , motives and reasons and the fearsome and camouflaged face of neoliberal capitalism.
