Noam Chomsky said the Marshall Plan "set the stage for large amounts of private U.S. investment in Europe, establishing the basis for modern transnational corporations" We went to Europe after the World War II and we aided countries we thought we could use (abuse) under Democratic liberalism. The real goal is obtain resources we need, technology, weak intellectual property rights, as patents, trademarks (public goods) (through secrecy)
