"Business in Mexico is controlled by the government (including the drug trade). That does not equate to capitalism."
>>>Nonsense. The government of Mexico is controlled lock, stock and barrel by a very small number of "families". It exists purely to serve the interests of those families. And that's why 15,000,000 Mexicans are now residing in the US.
And you have it bass-ackwards as far as China is concerned. As its standard of living increased due to controls, small concessions to capitalism have been made. Capitalists just don't seem to understand that in order to have capitalism, you have to have capital first.
