The funny thing about globalization is the capitalists say they want it and need it
(When actually the capitalists will expire if and when true globalization is in place)
The anti globalization groups who fight against it, should actually be fighting for it.
My viewpoint. The capitalist needs poor countries to source goods and labour so that his finished products can sell at considerably higher prices than the raw materials and cost of manufacturing.
Under true globalization we have a central world government that controls the big problems such as carbon emissions, global warming and management and planning of the worlds resources for 50 years in the future.(50 year plans) One currency with freedom of movement for all citizens means the cost of raw materials and labour will neutralize globally providing new opportunities for those who embrace it. The old world capitalists will crumble with no 3rd world to rape or pillage.
Globalization benefits a few very very wealthy people, for example the 5 gentlemen that control the world car production facilities. However in a strange way the odd forces of globalization may in fact end up doing that which they seek most to avoid- level the playing field. By that i mean the utter economic madness known collectively as the fight against global warming, (it's been colder this year in the USA across over 4000 measured points than it has been since records began).If successful, and they manage to negotiate anything like the reductions in emissions that they hope to it will no doubt cause a phenomenal drop in living standards in the developed world, and equally a drop in industrial production to such an extent that the so called developed world will become the developing world in less than 50 years. Never since the Easter Island economic collapse will one economic grouping have gone so far backwards in so short a time entirely at its own behest.
