Globalization And Economic Development
is globalization and unionism beneficial in economic development?
Globalization is not something we choose, or create.
It is a state describing the condition humanity exists in today, in the 21st century.
It means that through our evolution we have become interconnected, and now we live in a closed integral system, where everyone affects everyone else.
This state is not good, nor bad.
How we live through it depends on how we use the inevitable connections in between us.
If the economy is still based on the same selfish egoistic principles as before or today, it will not be beneficial.
If we learn the laws of a closed integral system, and apply them to the economy it will be beneficial.
I hope it helps, all the best.
