A world transformed, by Ignacio Ramonet (926 words) |
 | The "big bang" of the world’s stock exchanges, and the deregulation brought in during the 1980s by Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, created the conditions for the economic globalisation which has been the principal dynamic of the final years of the twentieth century, and which no country can any longer escape. |
| The world’s societies have lost their bearings and are desperately searching for meanings and models, because these three major areas of change are all occurring at the same time, with the result that the shock effect is intensified. |
| This transformation of the world has taken place without the ordinary man in the street realising it, and even without the politicians really understanding it. |
