 The Race to the Bottom of the Free Market
- Thursday
October 2, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: It seems that to increase profits, the goal
of business, is resulting in a never ending search for lower and lower wages that
increases the widening gap between extreme wealth and extreme poverty, world wide.
To add to this exaggerated devolution the United States has reintroduced warfare
as a business strategy.

their city. |

fall 2003- Tuesday
September 30, 2003

Tisdale: On this last day of September I took a short
drive into the country and want to share with you the beauty of the colour of the
country-side. This story has two QuickTime Virtual Reality Panoramas
of 1MB each so this page will take a while to open on a dial up connection but the
scenes are worth the wait.

alfalfa but the fields of alfalfa in seed production are now being harvested.

September 29, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The devolution of the third world continues
largely orchestrated by the United States as it sells more weapons than any other

problem some other way.

 Exporting the
American democracy in Iraq: The Free Market of Deregulation and Privatization- Friday
September 26, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Mr. deSantis has spotted an interesting inversion
both criminals being placed in power and dogmatic imposition of economic formats
that are site specific. What works in America is not necessarily what will work in
Iraq, Afghanistan to Venezuela. The references on this story are exceptional and
give you an opportunity to explore this topicmuch more fully than an interpretive
summary.

September 26, 2003
by: Mark Weisbrot
