I am not closed minded on glob
I am not closed minded on globalization, but if I had to vote"approve" or"disapprove" I would have to go with"disapprove". My educational status is: PhD I don't consider myself very well versed in economics, but, for what it's worth here are a few thoughts I have on globalization: 1). To the extent that globalization causes economic growth by the mechanism of comparative advantage: I would think that comparative advantage has the greatest impact for a small country with a highly specialized economy and workforce. For a country of 300 million, with a vast and diverse economy and workforce, I just have a hard time believing there is much to be gained from globalization. The fact is, the United States, in population and resources, is pretty much a planet all unto itself. 2). In some areas, it is clear that globalization is beneficial. For example, we need oil, they have oil. But most of our trade with the world is based on: we've got consumers, they've got cheap labor. 3). In my opinion, we are headed for a global shortage of transportation fuels (yes, I am a peak oil believer). I believe as that kicks in, global trade in physical goods, especially ones that weigh a lot, will become much less prevalent. I think there is a lot of planning going on around the world for a future that won't happen. Not to say globalization will dry up entirely. It takes virtually no energy to ship a photon from Asia to North America. Thus, tight energy supplies shouldn't adversely impact globalization of information technology, but I do they will impact globalization involving manufactured goods. Back to the point of"we need oil, they have oil". I wonder how much that has to do with that alleged 1 trilion dollars of benefit ascribed to globalization. It seems obvious that our ability to obtain petroleum on the global market is hugely beneficial to our economy, in fact I would think its impact might very well be far more than one trillion. On the other hand, being able to buy teddy bears made in China I am skeptical is much of an economic benefit to the U.S.
