Thread:Comments:United Nations: More people with access to cell phones than toilets in India/Neoliberalism is dead./reply (6)

What's happened in India over the past twenty years is a first-rate Success story. Indians have fallen in love with consumer goods, and their lives are the better for it! The fact that there are fewer toilets than cell phones is simply a reflection of how eager the Indian people are to move full speed ahead into the future. To try to attack "Corporate Globalization" in this regard is ludicrous. The rapid economic growth spurred by Capitalism is probably the greatest force for good in the world today. Cultures are becoming more homogenized and standards of living are vastly improving. The fact that you can order the exactly the same meal in 148 countries is a testament to the Awesome marvel that is Capitalism. If there's one thing that will bring an end to terrorism worldwide, it's "corporate globalization".
