But about the capitalist infrastructure - it as in the corporations, not the people to whom the insfrastructure is supplied, had better be monitored very closely. The fastest way for America to lose graces with a country is to allow the American companies to pull wealth out of the country itself.
I can see how one might have some hope in this strategy. It has elements similar to my vision. But the effect to be avoided, the potential for foreign companies to extract wealth from the 'host' country, is unavoidable.
