The Price of Globalization

Globalization is a double-edged sword: being more connected has led to some amazing advancements, but much of that progress comes at the expense of the environment and marginalized people. In our last Study Hall: Modern World History episode, we’ll look at how 20th century technology led to the globalized world of today, and we’ll investigate how that impacts people and the planet for better and for worse.

I gotta be honest given the hundreds of millions and probably billions lost the narrator just described... I'm okay with being born in whatever tiny village or metropolis fate would have dropped me in. You could argue all of the cruelty and hardship is why we have advanced as a species. However, how many great thinkers and bright ideas were removed by the consequences of history?
