North Korea

Here's a thought:

The US should covertly airdrop satellite Internet enabled laptops into certain regions of North Korea. These regions should be carefully chosen to represent areas that are friendly toward the concept of gradual free market expansion, and not necessarily 100% in bed with Pyongyang.

The laptops should direct users to an open online marketplace designed to provide goods and services to North Koreans on terms that are fair to them, and which are worthwhile for outside investors.

Products ordered through this system would then be airdropped into the country.

After a while, if the system proved beneficial for the North Koreans who participated, the foundation for a market economy revolution could be developed. Best case scenario, it wouldn't even need to be a revolution, but rather just a silent readiness standing by for when the dictatorship loses its supposed ironclad grip on power.

Stranger things have happened.
