significant is it do you see a certain level of. some phobia in the united states nowadays and you think it's just so there's certainly a level of islamophobia or just the all over the western world it's difficult to talk about this a lot of the role of islam because it's not one thing to millions and millions of people it's a faith inside the world of islam there's also a violent revolutionary movement which is a minority of muslims who take part of it or you can sympathize with it but it's there and that causes problems and to the extent that people are worried about violence coming from those groups that worried that worry is justified is that is alarm i would war with its alarm and know that would be a very mistaken and dangerous notion are you seeing a certain level of phobia when it comes to. well yes you do occasionally be people

who have bigoted opinions on it. i think it's one of the last forms of bigotry that is more or less for spectacle i mean you can't you know have to satellites and be respectable but you can say that you can't stand muslims and you can do you'll still get invited to dinner is not an acceptable double standard no not in my view . it's it's it's part of the modern world from some of the things that have been coming out of the media but he seems like that is a sentiment they're trying to fuel i don't think so. i wouldn't blame the mainstream media for that at all. i think what it really is is that because of globalization. because of financial insecurity. fast moving developments in the modern world in which some people feel that they are being left behind and so on there's a lot of anxiety and it's always useful in times of anxiety when people have an

enemy to focus on immigrants in general but muslims in particular are singled out as an object to fear. but. to come back to your question i don't think that the mainstream media have been. the worst culprits in this who have been the worst i think some of them in europe some of the populist politicians who have used this. in the united states. on really cable t.v. and so on who. use this issue to stir up. or to exploit resentment now in one of your articles about china there is a place where you see nationalism is often fed by a sense of impotence and i want to ask you about this do you think that is a saying that could also be relevant to modern day united states yes but it. comes back to that same issue that people who feel they're not represented they don't

have a voice that they're not listened to but they don't have a grip on public affairs. very vulnerable. leaders who promise the earth as it were if you feel you're a lonely individual who has no influence on anybody and nobody cares about it feels good to be in a crowd shouting usa usa or. in the case of america because in china it could be anywhere in china what i meant by the chinese nationalism being a form often an expression of from him since i didn't mean that sense of the chinese government but where people have no political voice china is awful not a democracy. there nationalism can play the same role that religion plays in other parts of the world it becomes a kind of. substitute for political. participation the united

states is a democracy do you think people have a political voice here certainly more than in china. but the huge role played by money for example has distorted the process somewhat i mean it is a democracy but like all democracies that it has great flaws and one of the flaws i think in this country is that you have two parties and people who get elected only can only get elected if they were. huge amounts of money involved and that leaves a lot of the population out of the equation who do you think is the real power in the united states who really leads the country at this point is a corporations you know still wall street is it really washington d.c. or is it the tea party is the media it's course not one thing and the fact that it's not a dictatorship means there is not one center of power but if you do corporations

for example do you think they have a bit more control than they should in making some i think i probably have more control than they should that's not to say that corporations run america be too simple they certainly have a huge influence as does wall street as does the pentagon as does. congress i was doing the. various voices in the media i mean they all have an influence some. of these groups institutions have perhaps more influence than water and that's because of the enormous role played by money i want to talk about china now. we talked a little bit about some of the fear mongering in the media do you think china is really a threat to the united states why is it seen as a threat by so many people and. is there a basis to i don't think it's a direct threat to the united states certainly not an ability. through it they're competing and they have a comparative advantage of having

a huge population that can make things much more cheaply than people carry the united states i don't think it's a huge threat it's perceived as such again because the rise of china as a as a serious power. with the economic clubs is has been is recent and has been very fast people are fearful for many different reasons and it's it helps them to be able to focus it on something in the united states and seriously external enemy know why is it so often external and it could be part of a lack of knowledge what is more i think it's something that's partly the history of the u.s. and this sort of refuge from the dangerous outside world and one way to make people feel that they have something in common with each other that creates a kind of confusion in a civil society because of course this idea that here we are in the united states and we will have to defend ourselves against this dangerous world out there isn't

the united states powerful enough to just start worrying about an outside rationally you would have thought so books these things are not always rational and if there isn't an external enemy people often event in the domestic one that's not just in america it's all over the place you mentioned japan having been seen as a threat to western economies decades ago where does it stand where you think anybody sees depends a threat anymore very soon after people are making a tremendous force about japan buying up the world there was a big recession and is now seen as a more or less normal or more capitalist country whether it is or not and now it's japanese to be fearful and they're very anxious about trying or want to ask you about bric bloc that is made up of brazil russia india and china some experts are saying that this block is going to really become. a leader in. the world's economic

arena do you think that's the case or is china way ahead of everyone else. bigger than most other places and all these countries have a long way to grow and very dynamic for that reason because they come from a lower. basis so the tend to be industrious and ambitious and sold in a way that perhaps is less true in. a consummate like your which is be prosperous for an awful long time do you think they could become stronger than the united states and europe in terms of their. combined possibly what is stronger me in today's economies when. corporations very very often it's very hard will have their headquarters in one country but most of the factories in other countries and consumers all over the place and. it's become such an international economy it's difficult it's very difficult to talk in terms of national strength

the chinese talk in that way and it's an it's it's a nineteenth century. rather german way of looking. thinking about an economy. the american system of course is different if you are an american corporation. is not to make the united states into a stronger nation states your enemy is to make a lot of money and make sure that the shareholders are happy how do you measure power in the north korea's economically is a complete backwater it's a little slum out there that nobody would pay any attention to accept for the fact that they have nuclear weapons and that makes it into a power that has to be taken into account in well thanks so much. thank you.
