The new fashion is to talk about global economy but never do we speak of a global morality.

In Myanmar we were hoodwinked into believing that it would benefit us to join global economy.

Global economy does nothing, other than to ensure that the rich get richer and the poor poorer.

Global economy is a house of cards with only a foundation of straw. Global morality is a foundation on stable bedrock.
