GEO928, give it a break .. global is here to stay was the thought on seeing your ..

....global is not a consideration for the US...it's a pipe dream...

so to a first paragraph .. global, globally you see throughout this story of success stories ..

In the 1980s and 90s, Korean companies were not known for their marketing prowess. They were manufacturing
focused and their products were often seen as low quality, or "me-too" items. Further, their marketing
efforts were not coordinated globally and often focused on sub-brands in overseas markets that were
created with the goal of tailoring the product offering and positioning to local market needs.

You would agree, for a certain success, being global is helpful.

So what is more important in your mind than that? Oh ..

and, more importantly, an excuse for the rest of the world to interface with and reap the benefits of our financial markets....the entire world financial markets originatefrom and are entrenched in the US economy.... where do you think they come from....France?? China?? Russia? England?

LOL, actually the thought was probably Europe somewhere .. so to this one ..

History

The history of financial institutions must be differentiated from economic history and history of money. In Europe, it may have started with the first commodity exchange, the Bruges Bourse in 1309 and the first financiers and banks in the 1400–1600s in central and western Europe. The first global financiers the Fuggers (1487) in Germany; the first stock company in England
(Russia Company 1553); the first foreign exchange market (The Royal Exchange 1566, England); the first stock exchange (the Amsterdam Stock Exchange 1602).
