NEW WORLD ECONOMIC ORDER: TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS

Abstract

The global economic and political trends accelerate the process leading to global economic restructuring and the formation of a new world economic order. There are different approaches and understanding of the problem of restructuring the world economy. Some believe that there is some kind of shadow “Elite of Power” in the world, which holds in its hands a controlling stake in the entire world economy, forms the main world processes, appoints and removes national governments, unleashes wars, sets prices, determines the priority areas of science and the courses of national currencies. Such interpretations have historical roots and testify to the existence at different times of all kinds of secret societies or castes of "initiates" who carefully guarded the secrets of power and knowledge, playing a key role in the most important episodes in the history of mankind, starting with the French Revolution and the victory of the Bolsheviks in Russia in October 1917 and ending with the confrontation of the superpowers, etc. Our task is not to reveal the essence of secret societies and their role in world civilization. More important is the task of identifying the main outlines of the structure known as the world government, which began to emerge at the end of the last century. The Bilderberg Club founded in 1954 with the help of the global political, financial and industrial elite can serve as a prototype for such a government. In 1973, the Trilateral Commission was formed with the dominant role of the "troika": the USA, Britain and Japan.
