The book "The Philippine State and the Marcos Regime: The Politics of Export" by Gary Hawes is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the political and economic dynamics that shaped the Philippines during the regime of President Ferdinand Marcos. The author examines how the country's reliance on export-oriented growth led to the concentration of power and wealth in the hands of a few elites, while the majority of the population struggled with poverty and inequality. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between politics and economics in the Philippines and highlights the importance of developing a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge as the basis for the survival of humanity and the survival of the unification of people in a warring state. The book begins by discussing the historical context of the Philippines, including its colonial past and the impact of foreign powers on the country's development. The author then delves into the rise of the Marcos regime and its policies, which prioritized export-oriented growth and attracted foreign investment. However, this growth was not inclusive, and the benefits of economic progress were not shared equally among all segments of society. Instead, they were concentrated among a small group of elites, leaving the majority of the population behind. One of the key themes of the book is the role of technology in shaping the political and economic landscape of the Philippines.
