doctrine of the economy Part One

Chapter I - Introduction

The Globalization has become an irreversible historical process permanently expanding and evolving at the same time the Group and economic conditions in the most developed nations have succeeded raising productivity and attention of capital. The old tools of Economics cannot anymore adapt these new developments and are not able to make most favored conditions for such an foremost to the World and for any private countries new amelioration to evolve smoothly by avoiding major economical crises and without destroying the environment. Having inadequate economical Tools creates evaporative market conditions which work in conflict with current possibilities of market expansion: this investigate is to proof the change from a Scarce Economics based on evaporative interest rates fluctuations and deregulated speculations into a market Economics based on market stability, regulated economics and Global Expansion of even small to medium size businesses and investors.

With the current system of Economics even the very resilient Us Economy will not be able to maintain the ravaging military of shrinking behalf margins and market crashes. It has become inevitable for a firm to verbalize its profitability it must go Global /also National for Us and Eu/: but the Medium to Small companies and Investors are hardly capable going global in a highly deregulated markets and exchanges.

There are great possibilities in a Global scale for establishing a heavy regulated but at the same time free market place where more individuals from elsewhere will be able to compete in very expanding intellectual competition; this process could be accelerated by expanding the security of doing firm and investing capital which will growth the Ltv and Mtv of the assets and even further to heighten some currently carefully liabilities or with very microscopic Ltv and Mtv. When doing that the Monetary policies will change because of this extra security so more money will be able to circulate without provoking inflation; then more firm and venture will effect and gently these rules and regulations will envelope more markets around the Globe to make a Global market Place for even Medium to Small firm and Investors having such Global access.

This is the end of the shady Trickle Down Economics or the bureaucratized Socialized Economics and the starting of a real market Economics /called by me a market Stability Economics/ because it relies on the market Competition and on Regulated firm Practices and Direct and Indirect venture under clearly stated laws and regulations implemented by the Governments but controlled by the Courts.

All these is becoming potential only in the very modern times by the startling developments of the Internet, associated technologies and communications; the fall of the Eastern Communist Block, the expansion of the European Union, the entering of Wto by China and by the expending free time of firm all over the Globe which as a consequence increased Global Productivity, access to the market Place, quick jump from Ideas to Realization, opening the Global Employment Market, allowing expanding Global Direct Investment, allowing Internet study and Self Education. The World has changed forever.

The following is a Philosophical plan attempting to substantiate the new changes straight through Historical sequence of developments and conclusions.

Economy is one of the reasons setting our life in motion and moderating our personal desires and behavior with yielding with the Group rules of club to perform highly sophisticated structures of societies and countries and lately economic blocks.

Many historical occurrences could be explained by the Economics and the ways individuals and societies are affected by it. The competition among individuals for economical and political advance in any community which competition has grown into Global has always been the way bringing innovations, improvements and advance but in the same time bringing corruption, injustice and the following revolutions and terrorism.

The private Desire for Success and the following competition among individuals is in the starting of relations between individuals and societies as a general driving force which organized societies into countries, empires and economic blocks. A constant struggle between the interests of the community and private interests is regulated by cultural and religious rules and base laws which moderate and leverage this association so the societies could function.

Historically the competition for success has moved from more primitive and corporal one using more corporal tools and methods for success to more intellectual and abstract one using more intellectual methods for success. So consequently of such changing priorities the Group rules of behavior have changed accenting on these permanently evolving values.

Economy is a main field for individuals' competition and also a general tool for comparison among societies; it has been evolving and changing with the new values invoked by the the general intellectualisation. Relativity of a community or group of societies to adjust their values straight through rules and base laws to fit a Current International Level of Development-Cilod is called Country's /for this society/ Current Level of Development- Cclod. This philosophical law of Group Relativity Sr is to be established based on historical statistics and recipe of comparisons. Every singular occasion in history has its Cilod and every community has its Cclod at any time of its existence.

Why are we attempting to figure out the relativity of historical economic and Group development?

The up to now marginal understanding of the processes of human amelioration by the Religious doctrine over all has being limiting the abilities of separate societies to find for themselves best ways for development: thus ideologies such as pro Capitalistic or pro Socialistic, or pro religious Fundamentalistic have been playing role in preventing Religious doctrine to clear the values and reasons for socio-economic advance and development. The disconnection between Religious doctrine and Economics for some time has fragmented general abilities for comprehending a conclusive system of assessment and consequential objectivism. Economics has drifted away from philosophical plan to a practical science of statistics and ideological self-adjustments. The desire of practical clearance of ideas has taken over philosophical reevaluations of sometimes subjective values. In context of such ideological more like status quo science of contemporary Economics real historical possibilities have been sidelined and obscured as not complying with the "political correctness" and its accents. The same coming legitimately applies to the ways separate tools of Economics have been evaluated and used however under economic and Group pressures Economics has been evolving an examples is the change form the Gold maintain backed currencies in the past to the more abstract current system.

The assessment of the basic inflationary processes, the most modern effect of high tech developments, Internet and Worldwide Political liberalization causing fast Globalization; even the past changes from Farming driven Economics to Manufacturing Economics and now to Services and venture Economics have been poorly evaluated not followed into conclusions and effect resolutions which is to bring a coherent philosophical systems to recap these changes and provide guidelines to the Future; the understanding of Economic and Group tools historically has been very fragmented over the board.

The consequence of such insufficient approaches toward Economics have been many wars, revolutions, totalitarian dictatorships,depressions and most recently the rise of religious fundamentalism and terrorism. One will say that I am going too far in giving the Economics such powers: he or she could be right there are political situation driven by Group military not relating Economy on their face but beyond any socio ideological motion stay pressures of Group expectation of inevitable values and motivations and such pressure is still a product of individuals' desire for competition which was steered to ideological values because of lock of economic competition for majority of individuals to participate, and because governments' role have always been to defend the status quot of socials structures the energies which could be used for such economic competition have been flown into nationalism, racism, chauvinism and the general ideologies as well

If in prospective we evaluate the economic and Group reasons for the Second World War as an example when the plan of imperialism at the time by Hitler and by any world powers that appropriating foreign resources and occupying others' assets was carefully equitable when if a detail assessment is done these neighboring countries could have been much more useful as trading partners which you can see in the new developments in Europe; Such an example of conceptual misunderstanding of economic and Group tools by all of the great powers and Nazi Germany was a effect of this mindless war which did not do any good to anyone but after the devastation it made clear that unleashing the dark powers of individuals' powers instead of using their creativity is worthless. In the new world of rising terrorism such misunderstanding of reality by the Most developed Countries' Governments could have fatal consequences for any country or even for the World. To try to suppress millions of population living in poverty and religious fanaticism is not a feasible way to go send into a new world when the possibilities of the Current International Level of amelioration to engage Worldwide individuals into a effective competition are real; denials of opening these opportunities by the Most developed Countries based on ideologies such as status quo Us capitalism or in case Chinese socialism, or European Group bureaucratism, or nationalism, or anyone prejudice will only bring tensions, insecurity and environmental disasters..

One will say if there are too many economic and Group factors to be put together in a way which can provide ample evaluation, is it correct?

Yes if the data is accumulated with no correct guidelines. In case the system of this plan is simplicity: not ignoring any major factors for socio-economic amelioration but concentrating on the guiding ones that have the most effect on the projected development.

How competition could be carefully main engine of private and Group relations and development?

There are countless numbers of original and circumstantial factors in an private life which play roles in characterizing this private and his/her correlations and Group interactions. The economic factors are microscopic but very foremost part of this process. The conditions in which an private grows up, the stability of day to day life, the possibilities in front of him/her, the inevitable and negative pressures on him/her by the society; obviously negative economic pressure could have very depressing and mind altering effect on ones character; the lock of opportunities could conduce to ones instability and perplexities. Historically ideologies, religions, nationalism and general culture have helped offset the instability the lock of socio-economic opportunities to the majority. The Group structures have established an array of tools to suppress private Desire for Competition which suppression `historically has been antagonistic based on classes', nationality and other belongings to limit majority of individuals from competing for socio-economic advance. But in a world of low productivity and political chaos such limits of competition ware legitimately inevitable for the stability and the survival of these societies

The main competition for private success has changed not only from corporal to intellectual but also from very microscopic opportunities for singular classes to more general and accessible; this process of opening of socio-economic competition to higher division of the population is at its best in the Most developed Countries which historically have always been the most advance socio-economically thus at any Pclod the Cclod of the Mdc is basically a effect the best adaptability of this country or block at the historical occasion to use in a better way Current Possibilities' potentials of their citizens in the most effective at this occasion ways. Because in separate historical moments separate socio-economic structures were working best, examples: the Roman Empire's strong militaristic coming supported by political power needed militaristic club and Group Religious doctrine to dominate the current World thus Roman structures were best reflecting the Pclod and therefore Rome dominated the known world she was the best adapted under the circumstances. Other examples are aged Persia, China, and Aztecs in the Americas.

Obviously to base this philosophical closing on the coming of evaluating these historical changes the continuity and relativity of these changes have to establish: and it may be best presented as a change of socio-economic Religious doctrine and Science of mind from pro corporal pro hand-operated one reflecting at the time hand-operated labor economic coming as dominating to a pro intellectual one apprehended by the developing high technologies and economic globalization one when intellectual economic coming is dominating. This socio-economic evolution is reflected into historical changes; here it needs to be mentioned that they were periods in the World history when these processes of intellectualization were severely interrupted and even reversed an example are the Dark Ages in Europe, or the Mao's governing of China the changes are not essential a flowing continuation but more like a spiral like continuation.

Someone will say that this Religious doctrine replicate Marxism for these population my respond is that Marxism was based on amelioration based on struggle between the having and having not classes when this Religious doctrine of the Economy is based on the historical continues change of historical priorities from corporal to intellectual. Which I believe has given the opening of the human civilization to advance. So as an example when technologies and socio-economic structures were underdeveloped appropriating foreign resources was the only way was a country to advance into interstates competition therefore the best organized countries were establishing their empires by concurring others and imperialistic foreign policies were supporting them: in such socio-economic environment individuals' competition was redirected into militaristic by nationalism and ideologies private Desire for advance was obviously associated to private advance by militaristic ways. The same principle of timely foremost values applies to pre historic times when instead the club militaristic skills of the time of the empires, personal corporal personal vigor had been much more essential therefore the "heroes" from the aged Greek mythology were compared and associated to the gods. When Great Empires before the Great Wars of the 20th Century were occupying the known World the mentality of conquest and spread of civilization was reflected in the literature, economics and science of that time to clarify their policies fierce nationalism and chauvinism were promoted by the Governments and other institutions: "the Religious doctrine of being better meant being militarily stronger, and even on a base level that a man is not one unless going straight through the army" ready individuals for the armies and multiple devastating wars. Now days such "philosophy" sounds almost comical; population have understood the consequences of wars and they are used only under greatest circumstances.

Throughout history continues accumulated data was needed for victorious competition which is another factor for arrival to a new Current International Level of Development. Such higher ground can be reached only by expanding and enhancing current possibilities which always are a effect of enhancing economies and political structures. On the ground base enhancing technologies, trade relations and firm environment in any time of history had prompted a new Cilod.

When productivity was low classes based on individuals' background and individuals' access to resources and position in the community have been playing dominant role in societies around the world. Because of the low productivity to verbalize "normal" level in the community multiple servants and feudal taxes were needed. Thus the system of scarce resources was born. To suppress individuals for demanding more participation in economic competition a Religious doctrine of servitude and tyranny of oppression was established: all over the world.

The negative socio-economic pressures on individuals accumulated in such conditions normally brought rebellions and revolutions therefore societies needed release valves: the nationalism, chauvinism, xenophobia, religious hatred have simply been parts of such Group negative built up releasing system which was promoted by government and negative Group pressures were channeled into regional wars and constant insecurity.

The next and higher step in this Group arresting system were the ideologies which were higher more sophisticated level of prejudice: in both systems of negative pressure releases any individuals not complying with the "acclaimed" ideas were persecuted and carefully asocial and sometimes even enemy of the states: ideas for righteousness fitting some current criteria have been used and continued to being used for the same purposes even to promote belonging to causes and system to suppress private desire for success.

The system of Scarce Resources has being based on a pro provide economics and competition it reflects the allowed by this plan microscopic percent of individuals access to fair competition which is accessible mostly for the upper classes who control big firm and venture in now days. The Scarce Resources Economics along with access to good education, to borrowing Capital, to market exchanges investing is pro provide and the provide has been controlled by the big firm and large venture groups and their strong lobbyists; the Governments have been part of this system by promoting their interests.

Us is a exquisite example how this plan works where good schools are quite costly and the system of income based study is dominant: which system was probably good for a steady developing Us Economy and not so good for the rapidly developing global market which promotes separate kind of competition by globalizing the labor market so the large corporation are looking elsewhere for marvelous scientists and technicians, following on such examine large Us Universities responded by creating graduate programs in science where high % Phd graduates are of foreign origin. Same plan prompted whole of software specialists and healing doctors to come from India and elsewhere to fill the existing examine in Us. So far firm Graduate Schools even opening some competition are lingering behind relying on the more conservative and seemingly less demanding firm competition as still a steady place for the upper classes kids to be promoted but with the Europeans and Chinese's high accessibility for commoners to all strong undergraduate educational programs and the becoming highly sophisticated Global firm a examine for highly intellectual firm managers will drive firm Schools toward similar to the science faculties global approaches of admittance and scholarships.

The Religious doctrine of Scarce Resources doesn't reflect the examine for allowing more access to competition in order a community to keep up with the global development. Obviously Us Economy is based on provide and examine adjustments therefore finally the most advance individuals are to effect but when the educational system limits lower classes from stimulating study the potentials of many capable individuals have not being enhanced properly will bring disadvantage to Us Economy as a whole. The system of Capitalism is based on ideology not on reality and therefore it is bound to change or Us will lose its Most developed Country's superiority.

The ideological status quo for government to protect and promote big firm and large venture by closing eyes of shady firm and venture practices commonly lower the security of the assets in Us which hits on the diminishing value of the dollar and the gradual changing venture to more carport foreign markets of Europe and China where pro Group distribution of wealth creates "stable" demand. Which systems by the way are not sufficient and flexible at all but on the principle of "the least evil" work better. Here it must be made clear that Religious doctrine of the Economy's market Stability Economics is not based of socialization of Economics and Governmental redistribution of wealth but it is based on a heavily regulated firm and venture structures and growth the equity of Us infrastructures and Group expenditures such as Medicare and Group security which security will growth the value of the Us Economy ample and maintain its status as a Most developed Economy and Market.

Historically, the upper classes security was general because in a system of Scarce Resources the statuesque has had progressive effect on the Economy by creating relative market stability. The qoute with this system as with all systems of selective access to competition is the ongoing globalization where Us market could not be carefully anymore above others and untouchable. Eu, India and China are entering this competition which used to be regional for Us market development it a global competition. Big firm and investors are exciting their operations elsewhere and the process will accelerate.

To not loose competitiveness Us Economy must adapt under these new developments and capitalize of and promote the advances in communications and other spheres of technologies, of the Us infrastructure, Group services and Medicare, educational system in singular highly developed graduate schools and promote their expansion, the globalization of the very flexible Us firm and promote access to global markets for medium to small companies and investors; which actions will make a more open competition for more individuals to participate and the strengths of the Us free market competition will advance and be empowered.

The Us educational system is one example of based on ideology system, but the Us graduate studies universities are adapting into these new global competition and finally the flexibilities of the Us interest driven study will prevail to verbalize its high status by accepting more foreign students. The looser will finally be the lower and middle class Americans being isolated from the global competition.

What is legitimately changing historically and could it be carefully a new development?

Very simple:

1. The pro provide trickle down or socialistic economics are changing in a pro market stability economics 2. The enhancing high technologies, the globally expanding firm freedom, the access of capital medium to small businesses and investors will make firm not anymore microscopic to a few conglomerates on the Global Marketplace: the medium to small companies because of the new technologies will be able to provide sufficient products and services globally. 3. Manufacturing is no more driving force of the economy: Global Investing and Intellectual properties are becoming the driven forces;

Life as we know it is changing and the change will accelerate.

The most advance countries in this environment will be the one having the best developed system to make the best conditions for these new developments to flourish.

Eu has very well regulated economics but the nationalism, chauvinism and overextended governmental control over the firm are stoppers existing from a former Cilod and do not allow the flexibilities needed for potential amelioration for this new Cilod. Still Eu has better then the Us regulated economics which reflects the devaluation of the Us dollar to the euro.

China's economics is a aggregate of free market and socialism, and is well based on the hard working population which had been isolated from the rest of the world for hundreds of years the Chinese have cultural differences from the rest which well work well in their current organization. The huge size of the population and the market attracts foreign venture and foreign corporation which allows the Chinese government to regulate the economics. Communists and socialists' economics are pro provide economics but the distribution of wealth is regulated by the governments which gives them a pro examine market abilities. Their qoute was and always will be the microscopic flexibilities to act properly to adapt to the rapidly changing realities: when ideology plays regulative role and ideologies as usual are not market driven; also because they limit personal freedoms it affects the horizons of firm expansion.

What is the Current International Level of amelioration and how the most feasible Economics could be determined?

This is a Million dollars examine and the whole study of "Philosophy of the Economy" is to effort answering it. One thing for sure in order this to be done an assessment of historical processes of amelioration shall be done which must clarify and trace historical changes and their relativity if any.

Chapter Ii History of Development

When Karl Marx proclaimed the struggle between of the having and having not as a main force for amelioration he was wrong it is a struggle but it is between the private Desire for Competition and Group Tools of Suppression and Limiting of Individuals' access to such competition carefully socially unacceptable at inevitable historical point. When John Lock proclaimed the market competition of a provide to examine based on a Scarce Resources provide driven Religious doctrine he was wrong because even at the time his Religious doctrine was adequately reflecting the driving free market economics he could not oversee the arrival of a pro market driven examine to provide balanced Economics. The scares resources is a historical justification of suppression of Individuals Desire to Compete: putting this statement from Group Relativity prospective such suppression had inevitable competing effect for maintaining Group Stability at any historical occasion until most modern global situation. So the Marx's upper Classes in historical prospective had inevitable effect on amelioration by establishing needed for maintaining such amelioration Group Stability. At the same time the market competition of John Lock was a revolution by itself arrival from a feudalistic structured Europe into a pro market driven world where the market adjustments were based on economics not on Kings orders. Things were changing a new Current International Level of amelioration was arriving.

What is a Current International Level of amelioration Cilod and how it changes?

A probable historical duration when under the circumstances singular private skills were carefully effective for a community or country thus the community or country's tolerated and promoted such private competition to verbalize internal stability and advance in the regional or international competition.

Usually changing Cilod are painful processes of changing classes' buildings and redistribution of wealth thus wars, revolutions and Group unrest have been a good indicator for changing Cilod. The approaching new Cilod is prompted by the new valued private skills and knowledge needed under the new developments for a community or country to verbalize internal stability and advance internationally;

Two things are of high significance at this time of change from one Cilod to another the Real Possibilities which reflect the socio-economic developments of a Cilod and also the Individuals Expectations which at time of change are getting higher: there is a relation between these two Relativities thus they normally closely effect one another: the expending Real Possibilities unlashes the constant private Desires for greater free time of competition: the general direction of such competition is directed by the Real Possibilities and the current at the time potential spheres of competition: thus if we go back in history at feudal times the private Desires were much separate from these in the 18 Century Empires of Europe and these from 20 Century Japan and even further separate from the Post Wars Most developed Countries;

The Religious doctrine of the Economy distinguishes and summarize these differences to show a very singular patterns in the world history which until now have been seen from other angles; by showing such changes it capitalizes of the permanently expanding role of the private Intellectual Abilities and the new historical role they are to play in the permanently changing new world.

From another side, if societies/countries do not adapt to the emerging new socio-economic accents they may loose competitiveness and even further disintegrate and become unstable.

Philosophy of the Economy is a philosophical plan of locating the historical Cilod and the associated private /for private countries/ Current Levels of amelioration and thus showing a separate way of such evaluations from the used socio-economic philosophical conceptions up to date. This new way is progressively distinguishing itself from socio-economic ideologies, nationalism, racism or any products of the Scarce Resources Economics philosophies; it is founded on the most modern socio-economic changes in the Worlds Markets and establishes a new plan for sustained market amelioration for the Most developed Countries and Blocks and for any other countries and even individuals into the new Globalizing market and World.

The history of the world is a history of changing priorities of the role of individuals in societies: the private Desire to Compete for socio economic success as a natural human reaction in life and Societies' from other side have established cultural and regulatory systems to keep this competition under appropriate limits.

Follow up: Part Two

doctrine of the economy Part One

The significance of American real estate values is now being witnessed as major banks nearby the world have joined the U.S Federal hold to pump cash into our banking ideas in hopes of preventing a worldwide economic catastrophe. Wall Street's cave-in has resulted from declining real estate values precipitated by our foreclosure crisis.

John McCain, in televised comments on Cnn September 19th placed the blame for the financial crisis squarely on the backs of the poor and minorities by claiming that Fanniemae and Freddymac, the quasi-governmental mortgage giants, are to blame for approving sub-prime mortgages to population that couldn't afford them in areas that were at one time red-lined. This is a thinly veiled reference to the mandate given by Congress to Fanniemae and Freddymac to growth the opportunities for home possession in minority communities. African-American and Hispanic borrowers are represented in the subprime store at nearly triple their rates in the approved market. Never mind that 61% of subprime borrowers would have remarkable for approved loans or, agreeing to Freddymac, minorities and the poor pay mortgage rates on the order of one to two-and-one-half division points higher in the subprime market.

Trickle Up Poverty

The Wall road Journal did a study confirming what experts like Martin Eakes at the town for Responsible Lending has been saying for so long - a majority of subprime borrowers had prestige scores worthy of a prime approved mortgage. By the end of last year that division rose to over 61 percent. agreeing to their study many subprime borrowers may have been tricked into unaffordable loans by unscrupulous brokers.

The Human health - How It Has Crippled Economic increase And Political view In America Part 1

Real estate appraisal methodology has long failed to adjust for racial discrimination, selective bias, and since George W. Bush has been in office his administrations version of furnish Side economics. Does, "The human condition" explicate why current real estate appraisal methodology fails to identify and adjust for the lower values caused by the effects of Selective Bias, furnish Side economics and racial discrimination on the appraisal process? Can lower appraisals, for properties in minority communities, primarily be attributed to these factors and, if so, can the loss be measured in real dollars? Is the failure of appraisers to adjust for these factors responsible for the slow or non-existent growth of real estate equity in these communities? Was this failure a contributing factor in the misrepresentation of value in Wall Street's mortgage backed securities and therefore shares blame for the modern meltdown?

The phrase, "The Human Condition" is well worn and refers to the ages old friction of standard ideals like cooperation, loving and selfless behaviors contrasted with human nature which is invariably competitive, aggressive and selfish. We are capable of heavy love and sensitivity, but we have also been capable of greed, hatred, brutality, rape, murder, slavery and war. The human race demonstrates a group sense of guilt and agony from being unable to explicate our duel personality. This has been seen by many scholars as the burden of human life or, "The human condition."

A great deal of what we believe is true depends on our perceptions; the first part of my diagnosis begins with a brief test of the economic theories which currently dominate our national political debate. I will later dissimilarity the dominate ideas espoused and implemented by our current President and his Party with those of his political rivals. In part two of the diagnosis the role of racial discrimination, selective bias and furnish Side Economic ideas as primary reasons for lower real estate appraisals in African American communities is discussed. In part three, I will effort to part the economic loss to the minority society specifically and to the larger society generally, which suffers a far greater loss in societal peace, wasted talent and loss of credibility nearby the globe. It is not surprising the inability of American leaders to create a fair and just society has dimmed the beacon of hope among the economically disenfranchised population of the world.

Since what we believe in affects our perception of reality this consulation begins with my (the author's) statement of why I believe in the realities or truthfulness of the conclusions derived from this analysis.

My personal crusade for truth in answering the question, "why current appraisal methodology fails to identify and adjust for the effects of racial discrimination, Selective Bias and furnish Side Economics on the appraisal process" begins with a brief test of my beliefs, as an private in American society, and the role culture and upbringing has played in helping to formulate those beliefs.

I have been a principle, whether Senior Appraiser, Chief Appraiser or owner operator in small real estate appraisal associates for the past 28 years. I was born during the supervision of Harry Truman a Democrat and a man my dad vilified for dropping the atomic bomb on the Japanese when, agreeing to him, World War Ii was essentially, over. Truman was the author of the famous, "Fair Deal" a 21 point schedule he presented to Congress which expanded group Security, created a full-employment program, a permanent Fair Employment Practices Act, and provided for group housing and slum clearance. Even though Truman's "Fair Deal" helped the poor, we were poor as dirt, my father and grandfather remained devout Republicans.

My grandfather was born a slave and my dad was born, in 1902, just 39 years after President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed slaves in the United States. Dad was a sharecropper (a free slave) on the land of the house who had owned his father when news of Henry Ford's promise of equal pay for equal work came to him; he made the decision to move to Detroit.

Through work in the automobile factories of the northern United States my parents and many thousands of the descendant children of previous slaves were able to become homeowners, buy automobiles and send their children to college. Free time meant everything to my dad and grandfather and they felt indebted to the Republican Party for the rest of their lives. When I asked my father, during the 1961 Presidential campaign, why he favored Nixon over Kennedy, his response was, "the Republican Party is the Party of Lincoln." The example of my father and grandfather partially explains why I've only voted for one Democrat in my entire voting life. My parental examples are only a partial calculate since the political beliefs I hold now have been formulated by my perception of the larger culture and my lifelong role as a small enterprise owner.

In 1981 Ronald Regan began his presidency. He ushered in the," Reagan Revolution", which aimed to reinvigorate the American population and sell out their confidence upon Government. "Reagan was able to push straight through legislation to stimulate economic growth, curb inflation, growth employment, and develop national defense. He cut taxes and Government expenditures, refusing to deviate from it when the strengthening of defense soldiery led to a large deficit. In 1986 Reagan obtained an overhaul of the revenue tax code, which eliminated many deductions and exempted millions of population with low incomes. At the end of his administration, the Nation was enjoying its longest recorded duration of peacetime prosperity without retreat or depression.Overall, the Reagan years saw a rehabilitation of prosperity, and the goal of peace straight through compel seemed to be within America's grasp." (whitehouse.gov)

Unfortunately, many in the Republican Party ascribed Regan's success to "Supply Side" or "trickle down" economics. This economic ideas is based on the confidence that reducing tax rates, especially for businesses and wealthy individuals, stimulates savings and venture for the benefit of everyone. furnish Side economics only works if you have an economically strong middle class, because buyer spending by a salutary middle class is, undeniably, the engine that drives our economy. Regan understood this fact as his overhaul of the tax code reflects.

Supply Side economic ideas is the direct opposite of Keynesian Economic Theory, which appears to be a basis for the Democratic Party's economic plan. Keynesian Economic theory, which is named for economist John Maynard Keynes, advocates government intervention, or demand-side supervision of the economy, to achieve full employment and carport prices. (investorwords.com )

The current economic platform of the Republican Party failed because it did not adjust for the lack of capability job creation, as a necessity to maintaining strong buyer spending, in the furnish Side equation. Add to this their past and current tax proposals to furnish billions more in tax benefits to Big Oil and Pharmaceuticals while proposing miniature relief for the middle class. Someone else good example is the fact the Republican Party has no plan for national condition assurance except to offer more choices beyond employer-based condition assurance coverage. Under McCain's condition assurance proposal families not receiving employer-based coverage will receive a direct refundable tax prestige - effectively cash - of ,500 for individuals and ,000 for families to offset the cost of insurance. With Michigan families averaging 00 per month for underground assurance coverage (not straight through an employer) and condition assurance premiums rising 4 times faster than wages, over the past 6 years, McCain's offer of ,000 a year is grossly inadequate. Source: National Coalition on condition Care. Catlin, A, C. Cowan, S. Heffler, et al, "National condition Spending in 2005." Health Affairs 26:1 (2006).

In contrast, the Democratic Party has proposed a condition assurance plan that will furnish affordable premiums, co-pays and deductibles with guaranteed eligibility. No American will be turned away from any assurance plan because of illness or pre-existing conditions. Financial subsidies will be provided to individuals and families who do not qualify for Medicaid or need financial assistance. These families will receive an income-related federal subsidy to buy into the new group condition assurance plan or buy a underground condition care plan. This proposal goes much additional toward helping the middle class because the calculate millions of Americans lack condition assurance is cost, not availability. Source: National Coalition on condition Care. Catlin, A, C. Cowan, S. Heffler, et al, "National condition Spending in 2005." condition Affairs 26:1 (2006).

Additionally, employers that do not offer or make a meaningful offering to the cost of capability condition coverage for their employees will be required to conduce a division of payrolls toward the costs of the national plan. Small businesses will be exempt from this requirement, and will receive a new Small enterprise condition Tax prestige that will help to sell out their condition care costs.In 2007, employer condition assurance premiums increased by 6.1 percent - two times the rate of inflation. The yearly excellent for an employer condition plan covering a house of four averaged nearly ,100. The yearly excellent for single coverage averaged over ,400.These costs are staggering to rise at similar levels for the next decade. Source: National Coalition on condition Care. Catlin, A, C. Cowan, S. Heffler, et al, "National condition Spending in 2005." condition Affairs 26:1 (2006).

The Republican Party has been thriving in defeating the Democratic Party, in the past, by labeling them as the tax and spend Party. However, under the current Democratic tax proposal only those with yearly incomes over 0,000 will experience a tax increase. They will pay at the same rate they paid during the Clinton Presidency of the 1990's, a duration of economic prosperity for most Americans.

Based on the Republican Party's current version of furnish Side economics, from a purely self-interest standpoint, no one earning under 0,000 a year should be voting Republican in the arrival election. agreeing to the U.S Census Bureau 2006 Economic explore revenue Data record only 19.26% of American households had incomes exceeding 0,000. That means over 80% of American families earn less than 0,000 annually. The Census Bureau explore was completed in 2006 and thorough incomes have declined since then. agreeing to the Treasury division and Congress' Joint Committee on Taxation, joint returns with more than 0,000 adjusted gross revenue and single returns with more than 5,000 adjusted gross revenue together are estimated to make up only 3.1 percent of households in 2009. Let that sink in... More than eighty percent of American families earn less than 0,000 a year and only 3.1 percent of American families earn more than 0,000.This means that approximately 97% of Americans are earning less than 0,000 and will receive a tax prestige under the Democratic tax proposal.

The spreading failure of our largest banks and Wall road brokerages suggests that the financial hardships of the middle class are trickling up to the wealthiest Americans. The goose that laid the golden egg in America was its strong middle class not it's wealthy. The ensue of Republican furnish Side economics has not only destroyed our middle class but eroded international confidence in the dollar. This is a fact that will make the road back more difficult.

Despite eight years of failed, Republican Party, furnish Side economics the Presidential choosing in November is seen as a toss-up by most political pundits. Why? What pre-conditioning convinces Americans to vote against their own economic self interest? For my father and grandfather it was their sense of being indebted to the Republican Party for their freedom. But why would Americans in the year 2008 vote against their own economic self interest? Put simply, its race.

I am aware that political observers with far more experience and scholarly study will argue that race is not the splendid calculate the contest for the White House is a dead heat. These pundits and observers cite the fact that population have not warmed to Obama because he is unknown and comes off as an elitist. Anyone who was editor of the Harvard Law present has to be an elitist, right? Obama's detractors also point out that he lacks experience, that he is a Marxist, a Muslim and the most liberal member of Congress. Most thoughtful, unbiased, voters don't believe any of these statements is true or can be given greater weight than his plan or Platform for America, sure superior intellect, strong house values and pragmatism. He seems to understand, that in the vaporing markets of today, all options must remain open.

I was bred to be a Republican but when I ask myself do I want four more years of the same failed economic policies, the acknowledge is a resounding "No". How could I vote for man who offers more of the same economic and foreign policies that have brought us to this place in our history?

People do not knowingly select to sow the seeds of their own destruction. Unless they are among the 3.1% of Americans who earn more than 0,000 a year, there must be Someone else schedule that is more foremost to them.

Since many of the polls, as of September 16th, had McCain with a lead, or the mathematical equivalent of a dead heat, most of his supporters, from a numerical standpoint, have to be Americans who earn less than 0,000 a year. This means that population who over the last eight years have lost all of their economic security, as a ensue of McCain backed economic policies, (he voted with Bush 90% of the time), are supporting a continuation of those policies. Many Americans revealed during primary exit polling they could not vote for Obama, a man of color, regardless of his apparent intellect, moral integrity and capability to lead. "About one in seven Pennsylvania voters said race was an issue and that group voted overwhelmingly against Obama." (David Wiessler, reuters.com) Based on Census voter registration figures the one in seven extrapolation, if applied to the electorate as a whole, could translate to more than seventeen million votes. In a tight choosing that would ensure four more years of the same or similar policies that now define America's national economic landscape.

Based on my diagnosis of this choosing cycle and the clear choices presented to Americans it appears the Republican lead in the polls is a prime example of, "The human condition." The possibility that millions of American voters will select to allow a continuation of policies that have robbed them of their homes, savings, jobs and the capability to furnish a college education for their children as a ensue of hatred, fear and distrust of a worthy individual, because of his skin color, is numbing.

Americans are demonstrating a group sense of guilt and agony from being unable to explicate the power of racial hatred and distrust in our politics and in every aspect of our day to day lives. The resultant emotional anxiety has created a duel personality in our national identity at home and to the rest of the world. The racial divide in America has been seen by many scholars as the burden of life in the United States or as discussed here, "The human condition."

The Human health - How It Has Crippled Economic increase And Political view In America Part 1

During the 20th Century, Marxism and capitalism were the contending economic theories and the world was roughly engulfed by a Third World War due to this struggle.

However, the collapse of the Soviet Union and the other communist bloc governments laid the way for the triumph of capitalism. But today half of the world's population lives on two dollars a day or less, and the industrialized countries are in an economic retreat that is reminiscent of the Great Depression of the 1930s. Once again population are asking, "Is there an alternative to capitalism?"

Trickle Up Poverty

In 1959 P.R. Sarkar, an Indian philosopher, answered this query when he presented the Progressive Utilization principles (known by the acronym, Prout). Prout is an economic principles that addresses the defects of both capitalism and Marxism and offers the promise of a new economic order in which the world's resources will be distributed in an equitable and rational fashion.

Is There an Alternative to Capitalism?

We can understand Prout by looking at six essential features of this new socio-economic system:

1. Spirituality:

Both capitalism and Marxism are materialist philosophies with a worldview that gives tiny (in the case of capitalism) or no importance to spirituality. Prout on the other hand is founded on a spiritual outlook. According to Sarkar, the material world is but an expression of consciousness and humans are stewards rather than greatest owners of any bodily wealth. The goal of community is to provide a base from which humans can develop their full mental, bodily and spiritual possibilities. This spiritual basis of Prout has prominent implications for the management of bodily resources, for the amelioration of human resources and for the establishment of proper government.

When adopt the spiritual world view envisioned by Sarkar then our association with the environment will change. Similarly when we regard other human beings as manifestations of that one Consciousness then our relationships with each other will change. Finally, when such a spiritual world view permeates our whole society, we will get the kind of service-minded and self-less government that is currently lacking in the world today.

2. A "Floor and a Ceiling":

Welfare economists have all the time emphasized that the minimum necessities of life should be in case,granted for every person in a properly structured society. Efforts to make a minimum wage or to provide various kinds of welfare systems to help impoverished population are all part of this concern.

P.R. Sarkar agreed with some aspects of welfare economics and stated that the minimum necessities of life should be guaranteed to all members of society. However, he recognized that if the community would just give population a check at the end of the month, with their required income, then this would only encourage laziness. According to Sarkar, the best arrangement is that community should provide population with the purchasing power to get the minimum necessities of life in change for their labor in a job. Full employment providing every person with the proper estimate of purchasing power thus provides the "floor" of the economic system. No one should be allowed to "live in the basement."

Where Prout breaks new ground is in its attention to the "ceiling" of the economic system. The poverty of many is tied to the affluence and over-accumulation of a few, and if we honestly want to bring about a harmonious community we need to think about putting limits on the estimate of bodily wealth that a man can accumulate. In the first principle of Prout it is stated that "no individual should be allowed to get any bodily wealth without the clear permission and approval of the group body of society."

This notion is sure to evoke howls of protest from the super-rich, the very rich and even middle class population who aspire to wealth. The excellent discussion of the wealthy population is that by their exertion wealth is created and this wealth will trickle down to the rest of the society. The apologists of laissez faire capitalism have been very successful in convincing population that this is the truth, but the starving, sick and homeless population of the world have been waiting for a long time for the wealth to trickle down, and it doesn't seem to be happening.

3. Economic Democracy:

In the past century a great deal was said about making the "world safe for democracy." But the "democracy" that was talked about was political democracy. In many of the impoverished countries of the world, the same ones where population struggle with .00 per day, the population have the right to vote but they do not have any say in their economic life. Similarly, even in industrialized countries a man can vote to settle who will be the next president, but he or she commonly has no vote in choosing economic matters that are very close to home, like holding a job.

According to Prout theory, community should be organized in a manner that will empower as many population as possible. One of the best ways to do this is reorganize the rights and doing of economic enterprises. Under capitalism the former firm form is the corporation. The owners of the shares of a corporation have all the votes and settle how the firm will be run. Those who work in the firm have tiny or no say in the vital economic decisions that will affect their lives.

The Prout principles would institute the cooperative as the most prominent firm form. Most enterprises, except the very large key industries and very small businesses, would be organized as cooperatives. Those who work in the firm will be the owners and will elect management and will vote in elections governing the running of the enterprise.

In a Proutist economy the very small enterprises with few employees and dealing in non essential goods would be conspiratorially owned and operated, and the medium enterprises would be owned and operated as cooperatives. Large scale key industries (energy, communication, transportation, etc.) would be publicly managed whether by local governments or by extra group bodies (in unitary political systems). This three-tiered principles of private, cooperative and publicly run enterprises would provide the base for economic democracy.

4. Economic Reorganization (Decentralized Economy, Balanced economy and Regional Economic Self Sufficiency)

If we want to bring about the economic well being of all of the people, then we must also make sure that some geographic areas are not depressed while other areas are thriving. The best way to do bring about economic amelioration and prosperity for every person is to decentralize the economy, institute all sectors of the economy and to strive for regional economic self-sufficiency.

One of the biggest reasons for economic imbalance within any particular country is the modern trend of urbanization. commonly most manufacturing and many other services serving the manufacturing sector are situated in cities. The metropolitan areas thrive, and population in the country side are whether unemployed or work in low-wage or subsistence agriculture.

The best way to reverse this situation is to place some industries, and supporting services and industries in rural areas. In this way immoderate congestion of urban areas will be avoided and strong regional centers will provide employment and services to previously neglected rural areas.

Economic decentralization should also be coupled with balancing the various sectors of the economy: industry, agriculture and services. In some countries more than 75% of the population work in agriculture and a small minority in industry and services. Underdeveloped countries with poor economies are commonly structured in this way. In industrialized countries a huge majority of the population work in industry or in services, and very few population are engaged in agriculture.

P.R. Sarkar said that a more ideal set-up would have 20% of the population in agriculture, 20% in agro industries (producing goods using agricultural produce), 20% in agrico-industries (supplying machinery and tools for agriculture) and the rest of population in industry and services.

A community with this kind of economic equilibrium would be better able to accomplish economic self-sufficiency. Currently "globalization" is the buzz-word of the era, and economic self-sufficiency is not in vogue. But is it honestly healthy for any country to neglect its agricultural sector and rely on imported food? Similarly should some countries remain with tiny or no industry and rely on far-away countries for all their finished products?

Generally countries which depend solely on agriculture or which export raw materials like wood and minerals remain poor while heavily industrialized countries thrive. This is not good for the non-industrialized areas, but it is also not healthy for the industrialized countries as well. In times of war or in time of any disruption to transportation, their vital food supplies will be in danger.

On top of this, in a world where atmosphere warming and ecological difficulty have become major problems, does it continue to make sense to rely on centers of provide (for whether raw or finished products) that are halfway nearby the world?

Prout recommends that countries in a particular geographic region come together and form economic zones that have balanced, decentralized and self-sufficient economies. Such an arrangement would be ecologically advantageous, provide for economic security in times of war or unforeseen disruptions of transportation, and most importantly would insure that no particular country or region will remain in poverty while others thrive.

5. Moral Leadership

The various plans for a better organization of the economy and for economic democracy are good in theory, but the question of materializing these noble ideas depends on the quality of the human beings in our society. If elected and appointed officials are corrupt then these officials will preclude the implementation of policies designed to bring about group and economic welfare. For example the group equality preached by the Marxists was belied by the reality of corrupt government officials living in luxury while the masses remained in poverty.

The only way out of present economic and political problems is to elevate the moral appropriate of our society. If population are properly educated, aware of their group and economic responsibilities and moral, then democracy can thrive and moral leadership will come to the fore. The hope of the hereafter will rest on the shoulders of men and women who will enter group office with the spirit of aid and sacrifice rather than for the selfish purpose of lining their own pockets or improving their prestige.

A proper spiritual outlook coupled with an educational principles that is free from political interference and focused on the all nearby amelioration of human beings is the best way to bring forth leaders who are moral and work for the good of society.

6. Global Governance

Against the backdrop of the universe, the earth is a small planet and human beings have to learn how to live together in harmony on this small planet. The best way to minimize the possibilities of war and to safeguard the rights of all population is to institute a global government. Old attempts in the 20th Century in this direction, namely the League of Nations and the United Nations, have not been adequate and it is time to move onto a better level of global coordination.

In his book Problem of the Day, P.R. Sarkar laid out a notion of world government that should be achievable in the near future. He advocated the establishment of a bi-chambered world government. One chamber, the lower house, would have representation based on population and the other chamber, the upper house, would provide equal representation for all nations. The upper house will not be able to pass a law unless it has first been passed by the lower chamber, but the upper house will also have the right to reject bills passed by the lower chamber. Sarkar envisioned a stage-wise movement towards world government.

These are the core economic and political ideas that form the backbone of the Progressive Utilization Theory.

Is There an Alternative to Capitalism?

"....the idea is that no community is ever complete, neither are its needs exactly the same as those of other societies." -Idries Shah, The Way of the Sufi

Varun (or Victor for work purposes) declares: 'An air-conditioned sweat shop is still a sweatshop. In fact, it is worse because nobody sees the sweat. Nobody sees your brain getting rammed.'

Trickle Up Poverty

-Chetan Bhagat, One Night @ The Call Centre

The New Mask of India

Unless we identify the present low state of our community as contrasted with our old progressive civilization, and unless we soon introduce such reforms into our social institutions as are calculated to bring about our regeneration, there will be no salvation for us, the Hindus, as a race. We should try and remove all causes of our degeneration. Anything encrustations have gathered themselves in the lapse of time round our social fabric, we should considered scrape them away.

-A. Mahadeva Sastri, The Vedic Law of Marriage

On September 15th, 2006 C. Mann, a representative of the Voices Ngo, delivered a lecture at Global College's South Asia center about how communities throughout India are seemingly benefited by their potential to access the newfound global communications infrastructure. He pressed the idea that primary India is strengthened through its inclusion into the "global" culture and cheaper and that the Indian habitancy are empowered through this new system of business and, subsequently, thought. It is my assertion that this particular "globalized" pattern of living, business, and philosophy, in essence, forms the foundations of a faith in business that cannot fit within the cultural bounds of all societies congruously and without drastic social consequence.

It is my insight that the main theme of C.Mann's lecture was that, in this "modernized" world, all habitancy are drawn into one social spear of business and, by extension, culture. In lieu of this fact, he seemed to heavily imply that all habitancy of the world need to be "wired-in" to global facts technologies in order to continue development a living. He went on to maintain with belief that, with this new technological ability, small-scale subsistence farmers will not only be able to sell to places that they have never sold to before but they can also watch Hollywood movies, American sitcoms and pro wrestling on the Tv. His position went on to directly state that the adaptation and, in many instances, appropriation of local customs into the base ambience gave power to the communities from which these traditions arose. His delivery was curt, well-groomed, and with the fervor of man who had something to sell. But I could not buy it.

Globalization can be defined as a institution of ideology that envelopes all the habitancy of the world into a particular frame of economics, consumption, and belief which finds its beacon in the model set forth by the multi-national corporation. The habitancy of the world are now grouped together in two lump sums- the haves and the have-nots- while such inconveniences such as national and cultural lines are disintegrated. What is left is a dominant global mono-culture which revolves nearby the tidings of capitalistic consumption, exploitation, and expansion. In his summation of C.T. Kurian's work on the subject, Dr. Sakhi Athyal asserts that, ". . . This globe has been integrated by capitalist practices and ideology and has largely removed ideological polarization." The dilution of cultural contrast and polarization is of absolute necessity, as the ideal of this system is the perfect restructuring of societies for the building of commercially fertile ground. The blemishes of cultural contrast have no place in the "modernizing" structure, as the formation of the 'two class one culture' system is universally implemented globally. Athyal continues, ". . . In overview India has embraced a market economy, and as a corollary it has lead to unequal distribution of earnings and wealth which in turn leads to unequal distribution of power and hence to the exploitation of those with economic power over those who lack adequate economic power." Globalization is not a process of cultural hegemony but is, conversely, the institution of a world- wide social system that grinds out any pre-standing cultural congruency's in the chase of profit. In the words of the sublime economist, Milton Friedman, "the corporation cannot be ethical; its only responsibility is to turn a profit." Globalization is the culture of the corporation.

The particular manner of inter-cultural communion that is the hallmark of the globalization process is much less a blending of varying cultures than the imposition of one particular cultural frame- the culture of commerce. This particular social order is created and maintained through a belief in monetary acquisition that is tantamount to a faith. In such a system, people, animals, and the environment are degraded to their barest essentials, and are given value judgments base upon how much monetary "worth" they contain. Things of charm are not appreciated solely as such, but are powerful with remarks of their approximate value. To recognize man going through the rituals of recreational shopping is very similar to that of an private in the mist of religious rigmarole. Under this market belief system, money represents time and time represents life; to make a buy is to identify an equivalent quantum of your life as connected to the object's projected value. To buy is to sell out the life/time that it took to earn the money that was paid for the object. To buy is to worship life itself. This capitalistic way of viewing the world permeates into all strata of the social fabric and, consequently, into the very psyches of all complex members. Capitalism is not plainly an attribute of a community that can be positively separated from the mainstay of the culture; as capitalism is the culture itself. The South Asian Voice asserts that:

India has been lulled by the mantra of "liberalization" and "privatization". This mantra has delivered home appliances and electronic gadgets galore. But it is also time we realize what this mantra has not delivered. It has not delivered a contemporary infrastructure that keeps pace with growing demands and consumption of a still rapidly growing population. India is now able to satisfy the question for items of private consumption. But it seems wholly unable to satisfy the question for items of social consumption - such as clean air or clean water or a level transportation network.

The pressures of this market culture upon foreign communities has had the corollary of enacting a gross manner of cultural dilution, in which opposing inter-cultural ideas seem to plainly cancel each other out or, at most, suck up each other; leaving a pale frame in the place of what was once vibrant color, dare I say- distinction. This is not a melting pot in which the riches of many cultures are joyously mixed together and kept intact, but rather a centrifuge in which a gyroscopic force serves to throw the charm of cultural contrast out to the periphery, before dissolving it all together. What remains are cultures with no roots, communities without communication, and habitancy with no direction. I am from the United States; I know this corporate culture intimately.

I come to India because it is traditionally a world apart from this market culture and I find vicarious substance from the ideal of her people, places, traditions, and cultural distinctions. It seems as if the essence of the primary Indian social system lays in piety and family role, which appears to be qualities that should wholly contradict the individualized, western perspective that breeds excess and consumption. But this seems to be changing due to the up-to-date influx of western fellowships that must, due to the nature of their business, enact a course of cultural indoctrination that seems to be ideal fodder for young Indians finding to stake out their own place in the social sphere. This is due to the simple fact that the type of businesses that are currently being brought to India are that which supply facts services to habitancy of predominantly western origin. In this particular dichotomy, Indian-ness is not encouraged and is, in fact, covered up with learned "western" forms of behavior and speaking that are pan-inclusively carried out in all aspects of the workplace. As the journalist George Monbiot wrote, "The most marketable skill in India today is the potential to abandon your identity and slip into man else's." This particular brand of workplace indoctrination is no better exemplified than in the anthropologists Carol Upadhya and Sahana Udupa's documentary satire, "Fun @ Sun."

In this twenty minuscule video on the workplace environment of Sun Microsystems' Bangalore center, Upadhya and Udupa slyly show how a preparatory "neo-corporate" mind-set is created and maintained throughout all spheres of the workday. It showed scenes of "hunky-dory" celebrations in which employees all procure together in designated locations, laugh at designated prompts, and speak in designated tongues in the name of "fun," interdependence, and corporate trend. On this phenomenon, Makarand Paranjape, an English professor at Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University says, ". . . [we are] finding an endeavor to eroticize the [It] industry, an endeavor to make it a culturally enchanting place, hip and cool. Of course it's a bit of a fantasy: there is nothing glamorous about call centres; they are dehumanizing, decultured places." This system of deculturation seems to be enforced with a sort of gang mentality in which there is a set social line that is enforced by all complex members rather than a sole "boss" figure. This "same paging" seems to be a tactic of cultural subversion that is as subtle as the market revolution was direct; with an end corollary that is quite the same- programmed, acculturated employees.

The hallmark of this laborer programming is found in the fact that there seems to be a set image and way of acting that is projected upon the employees within this new corporate work environment. During a visit to a Dell call center in Bangalore, I was able to make face observations of this new work culture first hand. Whilst baking beneath enchanting florescent lights and sitting inside of cubicles, the young workers all wore western clothing, spoke intentionally neutral English (deficient of as much Indian accent as possible), and interacted with each other openly. The mean age of an laborer was nearby 22-25 years old, and there were a comparable estimate of women as men. The walls of the center were lined with posters showing parody scenes of Indians and westerners interacting and doing business together, perfect with slogans of workplace solidarity and team work. The dress and routine of the workers is this environment were very determined from that of the mean Indian and one could positively distinguish an It/ Bpo laborer in the streets of an Indian city. I found out that the mean wages of an laborer in this sector is nearby ,000 Us a year; which enables them to live the rather extravagant, western-like, lifestyle that goes along with the profession's social image (while at the same time saving the business the cost of hiring westerners at ten times the cost). In an record on the cultural impacts of the It industry, Amelia Gentleman describes the call center scene as a place where, "thousands of young male and female college graduates spend the night confined in close presence (breaking down the primary length between the sexes), working to Us-time in smart, contemporary offices, adopting alien American identities, performing mindless tasks but earning salaries larger than Anything their parents could aspire to."

These particularities form the development of a new sub-culture that will have a great impact on subsequent generations. As an anonymous author put forth in the May 2001 issue of the "South Asian Voice:"

For the It-literate, job opportunities have been plentiful, and there are also opportunities to live and earn abroad. For the English-speaking upper middle-class, this has come as a boon. With greater access to disposable income, the seduction of consumerism becomes hard to resist, and the question for unrestricted globalization inevitably follows the attraction for new and ever more advanced buyer goods. This new and more victorious class of Indian consumers associates India's improve with the availability of the most recent automobile models and buyer goods. The local availability of imported European cosmetics and fashions, imported drinks and confectioneries - these have all become important to those who have adequate disposable earnings to buy such items.

The macrocosmic cultural impacts of this newly appropriated "corporateness" are multi-faceted and expand deep into the Indian social environment. It seems as if primary values and roles are being severed in a particular generation and the overlaying, trickle-through impacts are affecting all spheres of South Asian culture. I asked a Bpo social relations official, who has made international sales and marketing his career, if he lived a life that was similar to that of his parents. He, of course, told me that he did and that the up-to-date subterfuge of western fellowships has no great impact on Indian society. But he was paid to tell me this, and the fact that he was in his mid-40's and could not find a marriage partner, in a country where parents arrange their children's marriages at relatively young ages, due to his profession told me a very distinct story. There seems to be a deeply seeded identity crisis in which India is development believe to itself that it is still Indian while at the same time co-opting the apparent fruits of this neo-colonial mono-culture. How can a culture hold itself up in depth when it needs to adapt its very face to exist in the contemporary economy? I do not know the riposte to this question, but the cultural impacts of this transformation have already made a running tear in the Indian social fabric.

The cultural changes that have resulted from this influx of western technology, employment, and ideals were not more apparent to me than on a visit to a nursing home just face of India's It capital, Bangalore. The belief of a nursing home in India is a wholly foreign belief as, traditionally, the elderly are taken care of by their children and/ or relatives. But in "modernizing" India the dilution of family role seems to be part of the corporate package; as employees in the It/Bpo sector, due to work requirements and their 'western' acculturation, are oftentimes not able to supply adequate care for their elderly parents. I fell into fertile conversation with one woman whose son was an engineer at a German technology company. She told me that she had to come into the nursing home because her son's mindset did not allow any room for her primary ways of home rearing. She told me that he was a contemporary man and attended to contemporary things and how he belief that his new western ways were classic to that of her time-honed Indian folk wisdom. Her elderly friends to her left and right eagerly agreed with what she was saying and shook their heads in disbelief about the predicament that they found themselves in. She spoke with distain when she said that, "People today make more money but they also spend more. They do not save. They do not listen to the lessons of the old. They have nothing." This seems to be the theme of the elderly everywhere, but this woman was heavily hit by the westernizing wreaking ball, and she knew that her primary Indian values would not be carried into additional generations. The chain of folk knowledge was broken at this juncture and the impacts of such are forever stretching. There is no going back; there can be no retrieval, as soon as the great line of generational knowledge is disrupted, thousands of years of tradition are, proverbially as well as literally, gone in the years.

We are all entering upon a pale, pale plastic world, and with each day new societies are eagerly embracing changes that ultimately dissolve their heritage. The mono-cultural blankness of the western corporation is taking hold anywhere and communities are losing their time-honed contrast and identity as a result. As the American folk musician Robert Blake sings, "Hollywood movies are cultural degradation." The popularizing of a primary folk song in a Bollywood movie does nothing to sustain the culture from which it arose. Rather, all this accomplishes is the caricaturizing of a deep meaning folk song into a medium that is sellable. When this happens, the tradition is not enhanced but is lost altogether. To put something as pure and genuine,sincere as a folksong into a chintzy Bollywood jingle is to severe the song from its roots and leave an artificially packaged frame in its place.

There is something in this world more meaningful than price-tags, more solid than the numbers on currency, and more human than television. There is substance beyond the reach of corporations and a human spirit that is indomitable by neo-colonial indoctrination. I recently heard a professor rhetorically ask what the good is of tribal habitancy development jewelry for themselves face of the realm of commerce, and I must riposte with a particular word: 'everything.' The standardized corporate modal of business and living plainly cannot be absorbed by every community of the world without the severe dilution of the attributes that make cultures distinctly themselves. To "modernize" is to leave a culture stripped of substance; to "globalize" is to enforce a corporate derived mono-culture upon distinctly unique human societies. If this movement continues unabated we will find that a world paved in pale, blank, strip malls and habitancy who know nothing other than that which is televised is all that will remain.

The New Mask of India

"Poverty is the world's worst human proprietary crisis." With that reliance Irene Khan writes passionately and authoritatively, a heartrending book, advocating for a human proprietary approach for the practically three billion human beings living in poverty on less than .50 a day. That statistic translates into practically half of the world's population. practically twenty thousand children around the world die each day because of poverty.

Although most people are aware of poverty, to read this book is to become more acutely aware of the economic and communal injustices affecting the lives of billions of people living in poverty. The author makes the strong case that defining poverty only through wage levels has led people to the closing that raising wage levels will solve the poverty problem. She cites examples of national wage rising in countries, but still the inequalities and poverty persist. Economic increase in many countries has not ended the marginalization, discrimination and exclusion of assorted groups of people such as poor people, ethnic groups, religious groups and women.

Trickle Up Poverty

The author describes the plight of the poor as more than an economic issue. To live in poverty is to experience "deprivation, insecurity, exclusion and voicelessness." The author's stance is that all of these issues connect, forming a "vicious circle;" it is those factors working in concert that keep people in poverty.

Poverty, A Denial of Human ownership

Throughout her book, Irene Khan cites many examples of voicelessness, insecurity, exclusion, discrimination and deprivation. Some of the numerous examples she cites are:

• the millions of workers in China laid off because of the global economic emergency who were sent back to their villages with no safety net.
• the high profile example in Zimbabwe where millions have been impoverished.
• the tens of thousands of homeless people in the U.S. Who are excluded and discriminated against because they are not eligible to vote.
• the over 2,000 trade unionists in Columbia who have been killed during the past 20 years.
• the statistic from 2008 which documents more than 37 countries retention Prisoners of Conscience.
• the statistic of over 81 countries with "severe restriction on leisure of expression...."
• the Dalit communities in India which make up 16 percent of the people (160 million people) who are economically excluded and discriminated against.
• the 1500 families in Cambodia who were forced into trucks and deposited in a flood plain in 2006. Their homes were then destroyed.
• a U.S. 2002 report that documented homeless people in the U.S. Being whether forced to move, fined and/or imprisoned because they slept in a car, in a park or on the street. In San Francisco alone, some 43,000 people were cited for "quality of life" violations in a single year.

To live in poverty is to be trapped by political and philosophical reliance obstacles. Living in poverty is also to be trapped in the "economic growth" reliance that economic increase alone will trickle down and solve poverty issues. Living in poverty is to be trapped in "the sequencing trap." It is the idea that poverty can be solved in "a piecemeal fashion," a prioritizing of steps to be taken. The sequencing trap is to resist a holistic approach to solving the involved problems of the billions of human beings living in poverty.

The author defines what she considers to be concrete, holistic approaches that must be taken in order to solve the many problems facing the billions of human beings living in poverty.

This book is an analytical look at worldwide poverty written from a kind human proprietary perspective drawn from over 20 years of personal experience. It is a must-read book for people concerned about the communal and economic injustices so prevalent in today's world.
