Nowadays one of the most talked about issues is globalisation and free market economy. This theory is advanced by the developed world. Now they are trying to reach their goals. We have to think about it seriously. Globalisation means no barrier, it is mainly the barriers of region, culture, community etc that globalisation seeks to eliminate. Free market economy is the economy which faces no barrier of region and country. People can sell and buy any product anywhere in the world. If we want to realize the significance of these theories, we have to look back. In the colonial days, the countries which had colonies plundered lots of wealth. Now those days are gone, yet the countries are trying to get some benefit from other countries (especially from the third world). So they have developed these theories for their own benefit. They want to enter the markets of less developed countries and finally treat them as their colony, albeit under changed circumstances. The sole objective of the developed countries is to economically exploit the less developed ones. We have to realise what is going on!
