THE ANTI-GLOBALIZERS

Alfredo Toro Hardy

Chapter 4 in The Crossroads of Globalization:A Latin American View, 2019, pp 83-123 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: Against globalization plays the conviction that this phenomenon has had a very negative impact on the economies and the social tissues of countless countries, developed ones in particular, that, it has represented a zero-sum game in which emerging economies have unilaterally benefited, at the expense of the decline of traditionally rich societies. Above all, there exists the view that globalization identifies itself with greedy elites and corporations from developed economies, which have disproportionally enriched themselves, at the expense of the middle classes and the common citizen, who have carried the burden of disappearing jobs, economic insecurity and a declining life style. These beliefs and sentiments are associated with populist political parties and movements, left-wing politics and with Putinism.
