GLOBALIZATION: INTRODUCTION As our world becomes more integrated, economic globalism becomes more evident which creates more integration -- it is a self-reinforcing cycle. Unless it is managed, the current problems will not be resolved, and it will continue to be a negative reinforcing process of magnification.
Economic globalization is well entrenched and rapidly expanding fueled by innovation. Social and Political globalization are fledgling -- far, far behind. The first three segments will focus on the existing global problems that are increasing in magnitude. Segments four and five will analyze history looking at what efforts were successful or not successful in the past. Segment six focuses on specific efforts the United Nations has undertaken via their Sustainable Development Goals targeted for completion in 2030. Segment seven turns to analyzing the merits/problems with a globalist proposed Global Governance system. This exposes a paradox in how to govern a global society.
The paradox: the world cannot have hyper-globalization, democracy, and self-determination all at once. The best that can happen is two of the three as posited by Dani Rodrik in his book The Globalization Paradox.
Epilogue’s one and two look at how multi-national corporations (particularly in the U.S.) are moving in the direction of altering their primary objective of profit (“shareholder capitalism) to multistakeholder objectives including not only profit but environmental, social, and governance goals an advocacy termed (“stakeholder capitalism”). Each or these ESG goals has clear measurements of attainment. The hope of some is to marry some of these goals with those of U.N. Sustained Development.
Epilogue three reports on the World Economic Forum’s global governance desires which is a soft-authoritarian governance by a small group of elites; comprised of people from multi-national corporations, major banks, and government as reported in Glenn Beck’s book The Great Reset.
