globalisation

Don't US companies get big market as well as a result of globalisation? Fischer wants to make 100% USA made product?

You can't equalize level of life without social rights and globalisation don't push for that" When you raise people's standards of living they begin to demand their own social rights.

Maybe now that the early phases of globalisation have settled down and all the frontiers have dried up, the global culture of movement has died down. It's a lot harder to think of moving as a possibility, let alone a good possibility, when it isn't part of the zeitgeist.

But I've always strongly thought the "globalisation will make war unthinkable" argument is naive. We're tribal creatures -Nationalism trumps economic interest at the end of the day.

And this is typically the end game for capitalism and globalisation. Can't see it changing without everyone working together and by nature that isn't going to happen if capitalism is in place.

Name one Western country that isn't struggling with public spending, globalisation, automation and education issues.

It's exactly during the 80s that the reaganomics started favoring the rich, and the 90s that saw the rise of China and the new globalisation. I would completely imagine the that situation changed dramatically during the last 20 years.

The disappearance of antibiotics would put a serious damper on the current trends of globalisation. It's not an existential threat to the survival of mankind, but it is an existential threat to the survival of our modern society.

Yes. I don't agree with either of those things, but there is a point at which globalisation comes into conflict with sovereign nations. The status of a company is one that is granted to it by a sovereign country, and sovereign countries establish through their legal and government systems how companies can act within their borders.

When that happened, hypermobile investors, liberated by the new rules of globalisation and free trade, would simply pull their money from Canada and take it somewhere safer. The only solution, we were told, was to radically cut spending on such programs as unemployment insurance and health care.

It's simply warning that while we're watching the S&P 500 soar to record heights on the back of booming productivity and resurgent globalisation we shouldn't ignore the fireworks that are playing out over a handful of unmanned islands in the East China Sea.

I believe through globalisation these two sides are both merging and dissolving at the same time - that's not necessarily a bad thing, it's the world trying to work out inefficiencies in these respective systems; inefficiencies which could be seen as bugs in a system that invite corruption. When bugs are exposed and fixes begin to emerge, the pockets of corruption are going to fight back - as they should, because that's their livelihood at stake.

In my opinion, a little bit more historical evidence from Scandinvian food scientists and census data, especially in the last XX years of globalisation should indicate whether this hypothesis is consistent with food changes and other trends.
