Sounds at first like a laudable project, freeing ever more hundreds of millions for a new birth of laissez faire self determination, broad vistas of freedom of expression and intercourse everywhere.
Sounds great for the three billion new capitalists wanting to get ahead in the global marketplace, and being held back by nanny dictators.
Unfortunately, here, we have not had such a great edifying effect from our free press and freedom of expression ('if it bleeds, it leads'), unstinted by scruple or constraint.
Witness the ongoing decline in the quality of our public and private discourse, underpinned nevertheless by exaggerated, though increasingly monopolistically co opted, freedom of expression, extending to pornography, inanity, dumbing down by the market, and other excesses.
