In fact, all of history as far back as we know has been based on it. With Capitalism you can go from freedom, security and a job to an opposite world overnight. We must not let the forces which are trying to eliminate the United Nations succeed. And that is why some people would like to get rid of it. Sometimes you get to that point by starting with economic development first.
China is an example of the hope associated with that theory.
However, China can not be compared to Germany and Japan at that time. It will take time and we need the kind of patience China understands. Economic development leads to talking with others and that leads to understanding one another, looking for ways to conduct business with one another, and hopefully, eventually to peace and social development. It would be much better the other way around. Countries in Africa under Mandela of South Africa, Museveni of Uganda and Rawlings of Ghana, to name a few, are starting this process the correct way, but like other Developing Countries, encounter enormous challenges in the social and economic development areas.
