I have no idea. Why did you make such a thread? Are you straight outta reddit? I've no reason to believe a /pol/ack would need to discuss such a topic that has been so throughoutly covered.

Good god then tell me how you view globalization. is it how I explained it? I was a "/pol/ack" for a long time but recently became a /biz-buy high sell low-/. Never saw a thread on /pol/ before that actually described globalization besides "dur hildawg a globalist dur"

It's not /pol/ though, it's the entire media/political spectrum that fails define globalization. From what I noticed is that democrats think "anti globalists" are against trading with other nations. This is wrong. Certainly not /pol/s stance as i know it. That's why i said pro globalists seem to be pro multilateral trade while anti globalists seem to be pro bilateral trade. I'm here to get your opinion on it.

The problem isn't global trade per se.

It's the treaties such as GATT (later became the WTO) that establish tiers. For example, China as a developing country is allowed to protect its market to develop whilst the developed world must open up. China can impose heavy tariff and non-tariff barriers on autos, which protect the local producers. Foreign marques are forced to form partnerships w/ the locals, so work that could have been done by German or US autoworkers is shifted to China. Chinese automakers pick up new technologies and skills by hook or by crook. Meanwhile, where China has a competitive advantage, say textiles and footwear, the exports fly out of the country.

Many trade treaties violate Richardo's comparative advantage. The developing world is allowed to maximise is own advantage immediately whilst the developed world is told to wait until sometime in the future, ergo there's no immediate quid pro quo.
