  1. It was predicted abroad. It's not designed from inside. The inside design just was naive and stupid and failed. People always like the idea "people are controlling things and they are acting planful". The idea "people are stupid" might be too simple for them.

  2. The idea of people buy products produced in this contry does not exist any more, economies are open, not closed. And there is no way back. The entire idea of a "powerful nation" is gone, under the setting of globalization. A british company producing in Kenia, is this making Britain stronger or weaker ? The words become meaningless.

  3. As smaller your world is, as more controllable it is. If the 70year olds buy their TV set from china, they have absolutly no reason to be pissed off. They can be happy to get it so cheap. And for the saved money they buy a cell phone on top.

  4. Transformation is more the result of an observation. It's not a planful act with an intention. That's kind of normal, cause of the multiple players in econonmy, each company makes it's own decision, and you can control them a little, by setting incentives.
