Global Business Culture’s Failing Pacification Policy

by mike · 2001-12-20

I liked this article a lot. It explains how Al Qeada can recruit so successfully from the ranks of the middle-class wannabees in developing nations, who’ve been sold a pup by right-wing, Western ideology.
Business culture has seized the imagination of the young all over the world. It has brought new hope to a generation whose educational aspirations have been transformed by its revelations of wealth-creation. They carry textbooks, published in the US, pages of which they learn by rote. Many are from poor families, from small towns and distant villages, who have sold precious land or gone into bottomless debt
…
most of these young men will not find the place they covet in the global economy. They are dupes of the latest fad to reach the third world, a reach-me-down form of study formulated in the west, and now a major export, of only marginal value to the countries whose young have taken it up with such zeal. Global business culture is calculated to pacify yet another generation of impatient young people. Bangladesh, Indonesia, India are full of unemployed graduates.
