The Pros And Cons Of Globalization

A story in the Washington Post said “20 years ago globalization was pitched as a strategy that would raise all boats in poor and rich countries alike. In the U.S. and Europe consumers would have their pick of inexpensive items made by people thousands of miles away whose pay was much lower than theirs. And in time trade barriers would drop to support even more multinationals expansion and economic gains while geo political cooperation would flourish.”

There is no question that globalization has been a good thing for many developing countries who now have access to our markets and can export cheap goods. Globalization has also been good for Multi-national corporations and Wall Street. But globalization has not been good for working people (blue or white collar) and has led to the continuing deindustrialization of America.

Globalization is a complicated issue. It is necessary to evaluate the pros and cons before drawing any conclusions.

来自《华盛顿邮报》的一篇报道说道:“20年前,全球化被认为是一种使贫穷的国家和富有的国家共同受益的战略。在美国和欧洲,消费者会选择来自几千英里以外的、比自己薪资低很多的人们所生产的低价商品。随着时间的发展,各国间的贸易壁垒将被打破以支持更多跨国公司的扩张和经济收益的增长,地缘政治合作同时也将蓬勃发展。”

毫无疑问的是全球化对许多发展中国家来说都是一件好事,它们现在可以进入我们的市场并且能够出口廉价商品。全球化对跨国公司和华尔街也有好处。但全球化对工薪阶层(蓝领或白领)不利,并将导致美国持续去工业化。

全球化是一个复杂的问题。在对它得出任何结论之前,有必要先评估利弊。
