With the imperial domination of newly freed nation, the ideology of the magic of the market place was spread throughout the land, and the free-trade mania that superseded equitable trade. The result was a devastating economic collapse of Russia that in a few short years had lowered the population's life-expectancy, raised the death-rate, increased epidemic diseases, and made hunger and despair a normal way of life for many people. Today's economic status of the Russian economy is so low that it can be summed up in three words: Zero, Zero, Zero. All economic indicators of the nation have collapsed through policies of the feudal financial and economic system. Not even the ravages of two world wars had created such economic destruction in Russia as the IMF has achieved in the short years since the disintegration of Communism.
Instead of the people committing themselves to direct investment policies for self-created national credits to enable infrastructure and industrial redevelopment, on a platform of the sovereign nation-state, the people of the world have committed themselves to die at the hands of the 'investors' and free-trade-market specialists. The words were truly spoken by the British minister for Oversees Development who said to the prime minister of one of the new developing nations: "Of course, you are still colonies." This applies to Russia, too, who was the last nation in the world to loose her freedom to the modern colonialism.
Those words may be cruel, but they reflect reality. Under the U.N.-I.M.F. rule, the whole world has become a collection of colonies, living in total subservience to the oligarchy's world-financial system and free-trade-market games. The free-market is one of poverty.
No structure or policy that rests on intelligent commitment is ever established on a default basis. The intelligently created market, in which trade is kept equitable, is not established by default. Shakespeare illustrated in "Hamlet" that the default option leads to doom.
