16. good post, but a flaw in your argument
When American companies set up shop overseas, they have no intention of exporting the American way of life; quite the opposite. Even if people in other countries do want a way of life like ours, that's not what they're getting. If they enjoyed our way of life they would be able to form independent labor unions and political parties, which multinational corporations cannot allow. When we sponsored Pinochet's coup in Chile it was not with the intention of enabling Chileans to live like Americans - far from it. The Shah of Iran didn't promote the American way of life in his country, nor do the Saudi royal family in theirs.
