maybe the logic behind dragonlich's post above shows why direct foreign investment is not necessarily a great idea for economies like bolivia's--the social consequences of such activity gets ignored, the political implications erased----all are replaced with an abstract notion of where the money is going and an exclusive concern with profit.
this only even beings ot make sense if you understand markets as abstractions--each interchangeable with the other. this kind of financial "thinking" is not working out so well in the states--what makes you think it would work at all in a neocolonial context?
