A New Global Economic Class

A New Global Economic Class

The founder of the Economic Policy Institute in New Jersey and its former head, Jeff Faux in his book entitled: The Global Class War, talks about a limitless global market produced by globalization, and also about a global class system which is also limitless, where the interests of all of its members from all over the world are preserved and met. He goes on by saying: “perhaps the transformation of the national elite in every country into a globalized class explains better the policy of the new globalised economy”. He further says that exercising collective pressures by the big companies on decision makers in the world has become evident more than ever, but they are successful ones more than ever too, even they had been granted an “ethical” legitimacy like the global economic forum and the centre of world Agenda affiliated by it, in addition to other business coalition like the International Bank and the World Trade Organization.
One of the researches likened the adopted economic policies in today’s world to the system of one party which is “Davos Party”, because its political programme aims at enforcing the centre of the corporal capitalism, and also by the class of the crossing investors of the countries and the continents.
