I1L2T3 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 What's wrong with globalisation? It's done alright for many nations who previously were "have nots". The world was no good where a few nations in the western hemisphere enjoyed all the prosperity and industialization and many in the rest of the world had nothing at all and had gained zero after a century or more of exploitation by colonial masters. Compared to what it was... the world is doing damned well Swap colonial control for corporate control Enable globalised terrorism Introduce heavily polluting industry Enable globalised financial terrorism Support an unsustainable explosion in global population Support an unsustainable explosion in global debt Destabilise western economies Yeah, it's great. I suppose if you're old and haven't got too long left then it's easy to be blase about the impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andygardener Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Someone thinks that the global banking crisis which started in the USA was due to George W Bush being a leftie. The banking crisis was caused by criminality pure and simple. I'm as annoyed as the next man that there are not a lot of people in jail as a result but as we've seen with the 70's style behaviour probes, just because people get away with something at the time doesn't mean they will never be held to account.

I suppose if you're old and haven't got too long left then it's easy to be blase about the impact. So you'd prefer the world to have remained as it was. Millions in China, Asia, India and Africa without jobs or sustainable livelehoods, no future. no chance of an education and dont forget poverty does not mean that people do not pro-create in large numbers. In fact the poorer the country the higher the birthrate in many instances. The exportation of business and industry overseas has done much to improve that situation or did you think that all the wealth, money and jobs are the sole preserve of Europe and the west. If that were true then there would have been a hell of a global war long ago. As for my age dont worry about that. I've buried people a lot younger than me and also a lot smarter than you already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's based on debt, corporate power, exploitation, resource exhaustion, explosive population growth, environmental destruction and pollution. It's not a sustainable model for the global economy. The previous model had to be moved away from for sure but more sustainably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
