Im hoping Mr.Jesus returns again to clarify what he was talking about when he said public services, usually people complain about Western companies taking resources from the developing world, not running the bus system.
Either way, it still doesnt paint a very clear picture of the US economy. What you are talking about is American and Multi-national (WB, IMF) investment in developing countries, when what we want to look at is more domestic investment in the US and foreign investment in the US.
Im not saying there are no connections between all tese things, but if you want to know about hte US economy, its best to start in the US.
As regards to the "cookie cutter" problem, I think you are over stating a bit. Economics tends to come up with solutions for a given situation, and if the situations are similar, employs a similar solution.
Example: If your government is in debt, cut government spending. The Bush administration could also use this advice.
This is not some conspiracy to keep the worlds poor poor, its just common sense!
