    "#developing #countries should promote #productivity growth through #exports — use the financial system and other incentives to push companies to sell overseas, and to temporarily subsidize exporters in order to discover national champions."

    Adjacent to #crony #capitalism and eventually #authoritarianism. This nation-specific approach ignore people. It is all about "who is the king of the castle."

    Can we actually focus on real #development irrespective of #borders?

    even still, when the signs pile up that they're fucked under #trump, their #plutocrat controlled #media will tell them it's the fault of #democrats because {insert hilarious bullshit here}

    and they will believe it

    and while the #economy goes into the shitter, and/ or the deficit explodes to pay for #crony plutocrat sleaze, they will report the economy is much better under trump

    they are utterly mind-controlled zombies

  4. The 12 Step program to create and maintain the #economic dogma that benefits the #elite:

    1. Have a bunch of rich people create private educational institutions.

    2. Call those institutions the #ivyleague (Ooooo ... how prestigious!)

    3. Hire your elite #crony friends to teach there and call them #Doctors of #Philosophy (again, prestigious).

    4. Assemble groups of highly impressionable post adolescents salivating for prestige in a room.

    5. Introduce them to their #PhD #God who holds absolute sway over their #future #prosperity.

    6. Force them to compete against one other over who can best regurgitate the God's orthodox #ideology.

    7. Reward those that most successfully regurgitate the God's orthodox ideology with great #jobs and access to influence by giving them A's and references.

    8. Punish those who think critically by relegating them to low paying jobs and obscurity through low grades and withholding references.

    9. Pat your fellow #toadies on the back a lot.

    10. Scorn dissenters as #heterodox #fools.

    11. Rinse and repeat for #generations.

    12. #Laugh all the way to the #bank.
