Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper uses an historical sociological framework to shed light on a major dynamic of the modern world economy, the development of the racist discourse of the 'market standard of civilisation' (MSC), originally constructed by Europeans in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was this standard that informed the behaviour of Europeans with respect to the 'third world' in the nineteenth century and which continues to inform US policy today. The paper charts the construction of the racist 'standard' by which Europeans divided the world, showing how they used a kind of intellectual apartheid to invent a superior 'rational European self' and an inferior 'irrational Eastern other'. I argue that, while the 'standard of civilisation' dropped out of legal discourse after WWII, nevertheless the MSC continued on informally, constituting the basis of the American 'civilising mission'. The paper concludes by looking at how most of the features of the nineteenth-century 'civilising mission' find their corollary in current American politico-economic actions vis-à-vis the 'East'.
