"Is Globalization the new Imperialism?"
Answer: Yes, in its present stage of evoloution and development that must be TRANSFORMED to serve the 7 billion of the world and not just the rich elite.
"How can Globalization benefit the people of Africa, not just its white & American/European owned corporations?
Answer: with a "one world global minimum wage and a global one value currency; not a dollar, yen or euro but a one world global currency of the same value for all nations and peoples.
That way a worker in Africa or China gets paid the same value of currencey as that of a worker in Europe or America.
Therefore, corporations will not ship manufacturing to undeveloped nation for cheap wages because there will be "NO cheap" labor because, everyone in the world will be paid in a currency that is equal in value through out the, whole world.
"Cheap labor" means "cheap people" - people who's life and lives are defined, valvued and considered "less" than other people on the planet, not of "equal" value.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal [equality], that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty [Justice] and the pursuit of Happiness . . ." - must become a Declaration of Sovereignty for the 7 billion people on planet earth.
"These are the real questions that need to be asked."
Absolutely, not only must we ask the question but we MUST collectively answer the question with creative SOLUTIONS.
