Capitalism had a plan for eastern Europe post-war, it had a plan for developing the world and making it safe as corporate resources - everywhere. I'm not making a statement in support of socialism, Marxism, or against capitalism. Just describing from what I've read. The quintessential concepts are delineated in John Perkins' books beginning with "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man". Once they loan you money, you eject the natives and make room for the foreign capitalists, basically. Useful concepts in analyzing world and financial events.
