Document Summary
Globalization isn"t a new western curse also not really western : agents of globalization aren"t european or completely western. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer: not uniformly not really supported by fact, maybe there"s a misdiagnosis of the real problem. To deny globalization of science and tech. is overlooking many great advancements, which the whole world benefits from. India resisted to use western concepts in science/math shooting themselves in the foot. Poverty dominated the world 200 years ago: now, there is a well-established efficient of international trade and exchange theoretically helping the poor as well as everyone else. Not unfair to the poor, but the poor aren"t necessarily getting their share of the benefits. A market-based economy is incredibly influenced by public policies (in edu, land reform, legal protections ) International businesses prefer to have orderly autocracies instead of activist/less structured democracies: may be a decline in fair development.
