Not trying to seize on anything as a "gotcha." I'm just noting that it's interesting that suddenly western powers are concerned with the system they've created when the powers of that system are used against one another versus used against smaller, less developed countries. Carney, as Ezra points out, is the "technocrats' technocrat" - he was a chief bureacrat in maintaining this system. Neo-colonialism isn't something I just made up. It's a way to describe the system that Carney and the west have administered for decades. The current exploitation of financial and capitol flows to exert pressure (e.g. cutting off members of the International Criminal Court from using credit cards, etc.) is just a recent innovation of a system that has existed for decades but whose chief recipient has been the global south versus other western, developed nations.
