Nations exert their authority over their people in a variety of ways. The entire of the world is not about capitalism. What Romney is talking about in his speech are human rights abuses of people trying to support their families.
I resist to continue to use China as an example, but, its internal structure is very different than the USA. Their national policies do not necessarily filter down to the individual citizen across the entire of China. We know for a fact local authorities and provincial authorities impose power over Chinese citizens inconsistent with their national policies. Hence the real challenge of China to impose a single currency on their people. Literally, to change their currency to the international currency of China would send provinces into disarray with worsening poverty. The internal currency in China is not valued the same as their international currency. China is a very complicated picture, but, their leaders have come a long way in a relatively short period of time when the USA began relations under Nixon.
Capitalism is not the answer for every country. So many countries have very rudimentary economies existing in subsistence. There are African nations watching their people scratch out an existence after land has been divided due to inheritance into parcels far to small to support the family living on it.
When the USA takes a policy of imposing capitalism on a nation it is a hostile act to many economies which are not prepared for it. The USA currency is a strong currency regardless of its competition with the Euro, but, to ask other nations to impose capitalism as a way to improve their circumstances is not the way it needs to occur. In Afghanistan alone, we are witnessing wide spread corruption. When the USA people demand the USA military stop the drug economy in Afghanistan, the reply has been, "They have no other economy but their drug economy."
We have had a presence in Afghanistan for over a decade. The USA cannot impose the will of its economy on those of other nations. It is a hostile act. We did it in Iraq under Bush and he had to fly USA dollar bills into the country on cargo planes in order for there to be a currency the USA could recognize. It is hideous. We will not impose war on countries in order to achieve a Damned Economic Outcome ANYMORE!!
If Romney wants to talk about improving the lives of people in foreign nations he needs to talk about human rights abuses and not economic vitality.
