Globalization and the poor -- a look at the evidence | Krisztina Kis-Katos | TEDxStuttgart

[@darkwarlock123]

All the developed countries today with high technology industries have become so through massive state intervention and highly protectionist policies over many years. This includes the USA, the UK, Germany, Japan, China, France, Russia; South Korea. Only once a country like the UK or the USA rises to become a world power do they begin to advocate for low trade barriers to cement their advantage after trade relations are massively stacked in their favour.

She did a great job explaining all of that. I'm glad I took the time to watch it.

What is most important is that the final product that is produced is biodegradable .Ultimately the true cost of globalization is not the wage are the condition of the worker, But the contamination of our world .Nature fibers ,vs synthetics more people eat fish than work in a factory making things .Do we want to be all eating fish full of microfibers?

[@saarza9991]

100 years later..... You: I am fish Me: Go pokeball!!

[@pralad1]

Basically globalization is not an answer that fits all cultures all over the world- it's a square peg in a round hole situation

[@hud86]

Whaaaa? You mean nomadic tribespeople don't want to sit in sweatshops or cubicles to get what they get for free already from the earth?

[@ProfessorBaugus]

@@hud86 Then again we have the Maasai chief sending his kids to college in New Jersey so maybe

[@hud86]

If all you judge life by is money, then globalisation is great for a few people. Debt slavery is basically what capitalism has become. "Enriching poor nations" equates to richer ones stripping their natural resources and abusive labor practies

i love ted talks. Tanks you for all of you make for the earth

[@pedroortiz1385]

as long we don't become slaves of the multinational empires ..... we need to always maintain our nationalism ,culture etc ..we cannot let our identity as sovereign countries vanish .

[@darkwarlock123]

I got excited when she spoke about an empirical approach to examine the benefits of trade. Then she started pulling out survey data as "evidence" and I became very disappointed.

[@dumarsmahorn]

Exactly my thought. Thanks for bringing this up.

[@insyirahhalim9940]

Sorry im late, what would the right form of evidence be?

[@dumarsmahorn]

@@insyirahhalim9940 The right evidence would be the actual numbers on how much international trade increased purchasing powers of the citizens of lower income countries rather than numbers on the opinions of said citizens. Their opinion does not matter. Only the actual impact on purchasing power does.

“I don’t believe in opinions backed by statistics which don’t support my preconceived opinion when I watched this video.”

[@colorandcrazies]

This video really shows the negative side of globalization.

[@callumjones1068]

Yes water is wet

[@QazWHACK]

looks like somebody didnt watch the whole video

[@saty]

statistical comparison get biased, sometimes, in advent of globalization competitiveness, increased and many countries failed to adapt accordingly. these lead to job loss and poverty in countries like india. Local government should safeguard the national interest first in an attempt to adapt globalization. So local worker will not be left without a job, just because they are not competitive enough to meet the challenges

[@artmanrom]

:) With one country, one leader, one economy, there would never be wars on Earth anymore, people will travel more easily dropping the unployement to zero.

[@tirzahperry]

But how would the world come to a consensus on who the one leader is? Should one person have all the power to rule a world? We make the assumption that the one leader would be good and have the best interest of the world at heart, but a lot of power can make even good people do bad things. Also, what type of government would we follow? Personally, I'm for oligarchies with a small group of leaders working together for the best interest of their people and voted into power by their people with term limits.

OMG her accent is kiling me!

[@saltypixell]

Yeah me too, however, it was a great talk.

[@AmericanMadeAdventures]

what was great?

[@deanpaslis5408]

Yeah she makes a great point, but I left a dislike due to her rupturing accent.

[@jennpotter8949]

Ok. So she's awesome enough to speak almost perfect English as a second language, but you're so linguistically incompetent that you can't even comprehend a slight dialectical variation on your native language? I don't think she is the problem.

[@Eupater]

She sounds like a reading app

[@michaeloxford7996]

Globalisation is the future you can't protest it. The only problem I've got with it is governments and central banks not taking accountability and responsibility for lending (for example Indonesia)

[@Ginmah7]

where the hell is the CC?

[@emilyreske6289]

What are the benefits that the lower income countries do not recieve?

[@siyangtang3839]

[@balamstudios]

[@ashishgeorgemathew6034]

[@Animindia270]

[@chrysigabriel543]

[@atelijames5751]

[@ALBANIAN4FREDOM]

The question is Who benefits from GLOBALISATION? Rich people and Poor people Who si going to get hurt? Rich Countries like America, England, Germany and so on.. This is why Mr.Trump is for Americanism and not for Globalism! This is why People voted for Brexit This is why Americans voted for Mr.Trump!
