Globalisation is Good - Johan Norberg on Globalization
A Pro-globalization documentary. Johan Norberg visits Taiwan, Vietnam, Kenya and Brussels to find out what globalization has done for the world and what has went wrong in Africa.
He claims that globalization is good and that countries need it. That the industrial sweatshop economy is merely a transitory stage to democracy and wealth for all.
Great documentary showing positive effects of the outsourcing of labor and capitalism in general.
Criticism:
It does not let the "anti-globalists" speak for themselves.
It does not mention that employers and employees have different interests.
No negative effects of, or alternatives to globalization are mentioned.
Anti-globalists do, contrary to what Johan Norberg claims, not believe that subsidizing farmers in rich countries and keeping high tariffs on imported goods from poor countries is the right thing.
Anti-globalists believe in workers rights, enviromentally sustainable production and producing what can be produced locally instead of shipping everything around the world.
