This is a tricky one.

People know the neoliberals are screwing countries with austerity, with debt & interest. That's easy to see.

But Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is a key to the neoliberal Washington Consensus and it's harder to argue against. It's also a big part of Deng's reforms.

So what would you say to someone who says that global capitalism is good because it helps develop countries by direct investment?
