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

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Does globalization really destroy local economic development and worsen working conditions for the poor? Indonesia’s experience shows that, contrary to what some may have imagined, the poor can greatly benefit from trade liberalization.

As an applied economist and researcher, Krisztina is passionate about understanding the effects of public policies by employing rigorous statistical evidence, and teaching students to do the same.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

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?

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

[@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.

[@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 don’t believe in opinions backed by statistics which don’t support my preconceived opinion when I watched this 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

[@Ginmah7]

where the hell is the CC?

[@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)

[@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 .

[@colorandcrazies]

This video really shows the negative side of globalization.

[@callumjones1068]

Yes water is wet

[@QazWHACK]

looks like somebody didnt watch the whole video

[@mendymagsar4209]

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.

[@TheBangTV]

She sounds like a reading app

[@emilyreske6289]

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

[@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.

[@ishrendon6435]

@@tirzahperry authoritarian leaders receently have had better results than oligarchs or democracies

[@TheDefector007]

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!
