Abstract: Abstract Let us be clear from the outset. We are not committing blasphemy by denying globalization. Ever-increasing globalization is as inevitable as changing weather; we may regret it or not, but we have to live with it. We are also not bemoaning the consequences of globalization. While certainly not without its problems, on balance, globalization is doing clearly more good for the economic well being of the world than bad. Neither do we yearn for some romantic notion of cocooning countries in economic self-sufficiency. This ideology of some totalitarian states has long been empirically falsified.
