A new day in space, same old system: imperialism

The database software company called Oracle is a typical 
representative of "new money" in the U.$. economy. It's magazine 
boasts a newbie's understanding of imperialism located next to a 
picture of a space rocket lifting off in the Oracle table of 
contents: "Companies utilizing the World Wide Web to give their 
business global reach will rocket into a new paradigm that extends 
beyond company walls and geographic boundaries to reach customers 
and partners in all corners of the universe."

Oracle correctly informs readers that 93% of business executives 
foresee business expansion abroad: "Globalization appears to be a 
necessary condition for U.S. companies to compete. Even to 
survive."
