It's not well understood that globalization is nothing new and that it has been the driving force behind all sorts of innovations. In fact the one lesson one learns from history is that is you shut yourself off from the outside, you're pretty much doomed. That's why I find it hard to understand the "anti-globalization" movement. That term needs to be changed. The final effects of globalization aren't always just and these things need to be brought to light and protest. But to protest against globalization itself - that's plain silly! Nice article, JK – you make an important point.
