Branko Milanovic se je lepo poigral s knjigo Cabestana, francoskega wannabe Fukuyame, ki se je čutil poklicanega povedati širnemu svetu svojo blodnjo o potrebnosti izvoza superiorne zahodnjaške demokracije v Kitajsko. Huh, kakšni nevarni tepci poučujejo na univerzah in pisarijo knjige.
Ideologically, Cabestan is fully aligned with the trend of thought that was dominant in the 1990s and the early 2000s and which regards the attainment of liberal democracy as the ultimate telos of all societies, the West as the agent that would ensure that all countries do get to their rightful destination, and “liberal interventionism”, political or military (as the case may be) as the tool to achieve it. Cabestan displays, like many adherents of this view, a remarkable blindness to the fact that what they self-servingly consider to be only an interference in other countries’ affairs in order to help them democratize, may often appear to the others as a naked stab for domination.
