It Was Not in America.231·4 months ago“Big U.S. multinationals used to go to China and do a joint venture with a Chinese company to get into the Chinese market. Now foreign companies are coming to China and saying to Chinese multinationals: If you want to get into Europe, do a joint venture with me and bring your technology.”
Well, well, well. How the turntables.

It’s a good show. I just finished it. As for the politics of it, the show isn’t Marxist despite its anger at the super rich.
The show makes a number of mistakes in its analysis of the world. Firstly, it acts as though the problems of Capitalism began in the 1980s. We know that Capitalism has always been horrific. The show also falls for the Great Men Fallacy. At one point we see all of the the bad, rich people who run the world in a room together. Capitalism is more pervasive than that. The guy who owns a fast-food franchise is just as much a Capitalist as a CEO. These mistakes work for the themes of the show, however. It is a show about hacking and conspiracies. In reality, a group of super hackers can’t expose the big bads who rule the world and steal their money, but it does make for an entertaining show.
I don’t have any specific recommendations. Just know that it is a long journey. There will be days when it feels like you’re back where you started. At some point you’ll be able to look back and see how much better you are doing compared to years ago.
