I'd agree, but with a minor dissent: the creation of a new class of 
Third World plutocrats, like the 24 billionaires who emerged in 
Salinas' Mexico (many of whom enjoyed privileged access to privatized 
state properties), along with a broader stratum of their apologist 
intellectuals employed at places like the World Bank. Of course there 
have always been compradors, but this seems on a bit larger scale 
than before.
