WSJ finds caring role?

[Chris Burford <cburford@xxxxxxxxxx>]

According to BBC News 24 the WSJ has a front page article, as does the Financial
Times, speculating whether the tsunami disaster will give the Bush
administration the opprortunitz to develop a new image towards the most
populous muslim country in the world, and towards islam in general.

The meeting of the World Bank in Jakarta this week, will be the perfect
opportunity for caring capitalism to move forward in its global coordination,
with the Germans singing from the same hymn sheet as the US administration.

Capitalism has never been against charity.

The question is whether the demands for international technical and managerial
planning will start to alter the nature of global capitalism, and address the
massive contradiction between the price of labour power in different parts of
the world, which is the mirror image of the uneven accumulation of capital on a
world scale.
