"Globalization The Essence of Capitalism"

The development of the changing world.

Let us stop for a moment each day and within our minds look at the world as it stands today, what future it holds for mankind and where is our final destiny apart from the grave. 

Mankind for thousands of years seems to evolve in a direction which is based on the conquest of man to man, deep within that conquest always lies our lack of insecurity and belief in ourselves.  We always have to find someone outside of us to look up to because of our inadequacy.  There were idols of stone, golden images and various Gods but along with these Gods we always have an earthly God.  A man or a group of people who we look upon as caretaker of our destiny.  This man or people create the world which is always in favour of the minority and not the majority.  In their belief they have the right of conquest, and the right to rule setting themselves above the majority to create a climate in which we are now living. 

I believe that England is the cradle of Imperialism, Capitalism, Monopoly Capitalism and power.  One only has to look at history to see how it all comes about.  We start from the year 829AD Egbert of Wessex King of Wessex for his 10 year reign lay the foundation which today’s Imperialism is based upon.  Ethelwuls his son carried on its development from 839AD, this was handed down to his son Ethelbald in 858AD and so on.  Gradually Capitalism was slowly built through the Kings and a Feudal Society where all land and people on the land were owned by the King and subjected to the King.  This means the King had the power to Govern, control and above all power over life or death. 

King Canute of Denmark and Harold Harefoot son of  Canute 1035AD and his son Harde Canute to 1040AD,  further strengthened the power and subjection of the masses.   The rulers of England from the Plantagenet line, the House of Lancaster, The House of York, and The House of the Tudors.  One only has to study the history to find the cruelty and Barbaricness of the period to realise England was slowly built on power of the individual or a small group of individuals over the masses of the people.
