The topic that you develop friend @joseph1956 is as controversial as it is interesting to analyze, on the one hand we have the latent need of the great world powers to ensure the maximum benefit for their societies / economies in some cases even through measures that dangerously touch the limit of what ethical and, on the other hand, pseudo-democratic regimes that, protected under a false mask of "sovereign state", act with their backs to the interests of their citizens, acting only for their own benefit.

As far as I am concerned, at least in the Latin American case we see an increasing interference of the state machinery in the development of the private economy, right now the great monopolies of raw materials and even certain services They are in the hands of the respective governments, turning politicians into a kind of "all powerful investors" who, without having the need to possess capital or assets to risk, use all the power of the government to favor the creation of their own commercial emporiums. , distorting his nature as a public official (who must serve the citizen) and generating an increasingly growing wave of corruption.
