globalization - Lastest update

I know I promised you an update on the ILO-view point regarding globalization. I went through it and decided to leave that up to others. This I got just now from a Dutch diplomat and that summerizes the situation much better:

GLOBAL ECONOMICS DE-MYSTIFIED

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM: You have 2 cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.

SOCIALISM: You have 2 cows. You give one to your neighbour.

COMMUNISM: You have 2 cows. The Government takes both and gives you some
milk.

FASCISM: You have 2 cows. The Government takes both and sells you some milk.


NAZISM: You have 2 cows. The Government takes both and shoots you.

BUREAUCRATISM: You have 2 cows. The Government takes both, shoots one, milks the other and throws the milk away.

AN AMERICAN CORPORATION: You have 2 cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyse why the cow dropped dead.

A FRENCH CORPORATION: You have 2 cows. You go on strike because you want three cows.

A JAPANESE CORPORATION: You have 2 cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image called Cowkimon and market them worldwide.

A GERMAN CORPORATION: You have 2 cows. You reengineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.

AN ITALIAN CORPORATION: You have 2 cows, but you don't know where they are. You break for lunch.

A RUSSIAN CORPORATION: You have 2 cows. You count them and learn you have 5 cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 2 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.

A SWISS CORPORATION: You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge others for storing them.

A CHINESE CORPORATION: You have 2 cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim full employment, high bovine productivity, and arrest the newsman who reported the numbers.

AN INDIAN CORPORATION: You have 2 cows. You worship them.

A BRITISH CORPORATION: You have 2 cows. Both are mad.

A DUTCH CORPORATION: You have 2 cows. They start a stakeholders' council and demand counselling for the pyschological trauma they sustain being milked.
