Transcript
I’m sure that it’s a threat not only to the country where it is coming from namely the United States infrasonic stands Great Britain but also to the world’s economy because of globalization and the international case that we have the three major economies like us in the U.S. and China here. And the remaining part of the words and neoliberalism is not all in a kind of ideology. It’s also a certain economic theory and based upon that economic policy for drought and strategy for development which is hardly delivering because through wrong deregulation plating the fiscal system and too much of finance is that it is acting on the behalf of enriching the few and the cost of many.

On the other hand the discourse on neo liberalism Kolyma is considered to be the cause of the 2008 financial meltdown. Those who criticize liberalism are also brought with them and the rise of populism protectionism and in particular and legalization.
