What's wrong is the inequitable distribution of wealth in societies. The gross imbalance between profits to the corporations/richs and wages to the majority working population. Only a minuscule portion of the immense wealth generated globally had trickled down from corporations to the general population.

Agreed! Path to knowlege is not obvious but when you accept that there are lots of things you don't know and decide not to waste your time you will see progress for sure. Start studying instead of complaining then good things will start to happen!
The current economic model is broken. You can't have never-ending growth without impacting the environment. When will people realize this! We ought to think of a circular economy where we don't waste, over-consume and exploit workers.
It's possible to have Income Growth and continual Economic improvements like Tech and even Green Tech, but that requires more fiscal support and not just relinquishing power and governance to bankers. Govt can and does create net money, as long as it has a functioning central bank and sovereign domestic currency. Banks create money with keystrokes too, as that Bank of England publication described how banking works, but banks create credit/loans for investors for asset inflation, not much productive investment for industry & business as was done decades ago. Some 8% of profits goes to real capital dev, the rest to boosting Financial capital like stock buybacks and acquiring existing corporations for asset stripping. This has been a conscious economic design and plan, in Law in rules in institutes, not "nature".
@Aethel Yfel goods and services, except human labor, are tending towards infinite abundance. Labor too, augmented by automation. Instead, profits are in forms of rent-extraction by monopoly & financialization. This is a reversal of what classical liberal economists and even Marx expected. Heck, futurist Toffler was popular in the 70s and buddies with Newt Gingrich who helped Gore privatize the Internet. He was predicting future productivity would lead to mass leisure society, people working max 3 days for full income. What to do with all that free time? Art? Creativity? Travel? Instead, it's same hours with less income or joblessness with plenty free time in poverty. Toffler's vision betrayed, rolled back, on purpose.
If you expand private property rights you can formulate much more effective environmental market based solutions than anything a government bureaucracy is capable of. This is just more socialist crap in different clothes. Globalisation is not the cause of stagnation, yet again it is government policy that creates these crisis from which suffering comes from. Ultra low interest rates leading to over indebted economies that don’t have enough productive investment as there is no healthy recession leading to savings. Because of this there have been massive misallocation of funds to companies that should not get investment and the result is an economy that is one giant bubble. Now high inflation from money printing, as most currencies have gone off a gold standard, are being debased and the little people have saved is having its purchasing power stolen by the government. Every economic catastrophe can be almost always be traced back to government with it’s economic interventions, subsidies, budget deficits leading to ever climbing national debts. In my country, the UK the unofficial national debt (because the official one doesn’t cover things like unfunded public & state pension schemes and nuclear decommissioning) is £9.6 trillion which is 446.51% of our national GDP!! And that’s with low interest rates. The government has fucked us. It’s not free market capitalist ideals that got us into this mess but government intervention . During the 19th and early 20th century when free market capitalism was at it’s height, there was prosperity and the largest ever increase in the standard of living for the POOREST in society ever! The failures of the market are magnitudes less than government failure and so their interventions should be treated with extreme suspicion and they should be kept as small is as humanely possible for the sake of everyone and everyone’s children’s future.
I recomend a video based on this “move into investment baking” concept of full mobility he keeps talking about. Its called “the financial curse” it shows how finance is good to an extent but after a point it actually lowers our wealth and extracts it from us. It’s a lobby we need to take on.
That's true, if you think about it, if the finance sector is growing faster than the real productive economy, that must mean that the financial sector has become "too attractive", and will pull a lot of money which otherwise can be used to grow manufacturing sector, fund research, retrain workers, etc.

alright, trading resources or services across continent is great aspect in globalization. The problem is, when developing countries can't bargain in fair amount as developed countries.

"If I told you that there are 55 planets in the universe with intelligent beings and all of them are vastly richer than the earth would you care? I wouldn't. I mean I can't even go there. Probably some of the delicacies these beings eat are toxic to me." Absolutely hilarious.
Before buy into the illusion of progress, we must always consider it at the expense of what and what its long term implications might be. Clearly we haven't done a very good job of asking the more important questions. Or maybe they were being asked by the forward thinking few who were most likely ignored or silenced because they didn't have the ivy league degrees or the connections. The ones who pay the most for these mistakes are the ones at the lower rungs of the ladder, the voiceless, the peasant, the small business owner, Mother Nature. Shame on us for thinking that this will be the silver bullet.
As far as it is possible to tell, the word "globalisation" is a special interest version of the Gaian Planetary Actuality adapted for specific categories of commercial interactions.
When it comes to trade, has there been a comprehensive study, hopefully leading to various formulae, that analyses and defines the various authorities influencing trade? In the simplest sense, in the case of widgets being traded between entities, who determines the yes, no, this condition, not that condition, of trade? Is the process that dynamic or does it happen on a much more primitive mafia style model, i.e. the major players make deals that one or the other trade entity can't refuse? If the latter is the case, it would suggest that the only remedy for labour and/or all less influential players is armed insurrection. All the conjecture about what has happened to liberal policy are rendered a waste of time and intellect. "Technical terms" are a nonstarter if brute force is ultimately what drives the process, rendering any applied calculus a canard.
It might have been better to give these kids (presumably from Cambridge Uni UK) an hour with a computer game. Every time the camera pans to the listeners, I see bored faces. Don't they know how fortunate they are to have so good a professor helping them?

Nothing - integration = efficiency, obviously. The problem is that ever-harder-to valorise/reproduce private ownership of the means of production means the value created by society goes to a minority of shareholders instead of society.
Basically, protectionism is a good thing. Nation states protecting their own home grown industries is a good thing. Globalism and free trade is bad, it does destroy local industries. It also leads to monopolies which is a bad thing.
Nothing is wrong with globalization unless you let capitalists define the form it takes. Otherwise it's just the continued growth of what mankind defines as "Us" and "We". We all win when humanity stops limiting it's potential based upon geographic proximity and superficial cultural decoration. From the family unit to the nation, every time our understanding of who is and can be a teammate expands outwards we all benefit. Standing against globalization also seems like the fastest way to ensure those capitalists get to implement it in the form they choose. Who has more power: the individual nation, standing alone based upon Grandpa's backwards notion of who his allies were or the strong unified collection of nations or states using collective bargaining to better their outcome? I guarantee the EU is in a better position than the UK to get favorable outcomes in a global future. Because they didn't step backwards to cling to an outdated notion of nations that benefits only the parasites who can more easily feed off of weakened and isolated populations who believe they are on their own.
Tai-Jan-Ciel-Lah . Thank you very much. Refreshing to learn from a Chinaman that I hadn't realized before: that we're in an historical reprise of something before; neoliberalism existed before ,esp 19th and beginning of 20th laisser faire centuries.
"Free-trade" was never free. Managed trade would be a better description. Failures of the neoliberal model are related to central planning. Critics of the market and proponents of central planning point to failed neoliberal policies. Deliberate slight of hand, or inept non-sequitur? The ivory tower continues unfazed.

unemployment levels are same in the developed countries despite the fact that there is more people there now than before globalization. people from developing countries still want to live in developed countries. from the perspective of international solidarity and sharing, people from mexican auto industry have benefited by taking some jobs from americans.
It is my understanding that Mexican workers working for US companies are paid $2 an hour, worked hard, and told if they don't like it, they can be easily replaced. Pretty close to the US, where min wage for tipped workers is $2.13 an hour, and told the same.
Globalization is not an idealogical idea. It is a reality because of the technological capabilities of nations to move goods, services, knowledge and ideas all around the world combined with the need for importers and exporters to use these capabilities to benefit from such activities.
Then way doesn't war economies use globalization? When war planners have to mold the economy to produce arms as efficient as possible globalization goes right of the window as the logisticans see the fuel required to have such a dispraise supply chain not only could be better used to fuel the war machine but required you to spread out forces to protect it from the enemy thus war planners preferred compact vertically integrated national economies especially when it came to planning to win a nuclear war where globalization meant part of your supply chain would be where you are going to be dropping your nukes. Technology doesn't dictate globalization and indifferent to it as long there is a complete supply line.
That's always one of the motives, but for countries with more land I wonder how difficult it would be for some of the people to grow their own food (think victory gardens).
What's wrong with globalization? - Mainly it doesn't suit some politicians who want to pint it as something bad because it reduces their ability to gain power for themselves in many circumstances !!

Re second 26: Canada does not have a more open economy. To my understanding it has restrictions such that entities in certain industries must be Canadian owned and it is very controlled re the skills of who it lets in to the country .
The problem with globalization is that it has benefitted the few disproportionately at the expense of the many. When you create such a disequilibrium in the distribution of wealth and power, it is just a matter of time before equilibrium will be re-establishes ... sometimes quite violently.
@@Niko-lm3mb read Paul Treanor on Markets, including Liberalism (of capital) and the Neoliberal ideology. This ideology is tied to Milton Friedman, even tho he didn't use the word. Neoliberalism is tied mostly to Reagan & Thatcher, then Bill Clinton & Tony Blair. It's *not* "The Left". Treanor describes Neoliberalism like a religion of Markets that justifies massive govt intervention to protect investors.
Kesalahan ekonomi global yang liberalistik tidak memberikan pemberdayaan dan tidak memberikan jaring pengaman bagi masyarakat yang tidak terakses oleh pendidikan suatu negara atau pendidikan global. Karena persaingan sempurna tanpa pendidikan yang memadai bagi seseorang akan menjadi korban dalam persaingan liberal itu. Makanya hingga sekarang kesenjangan dan kemiskinan jauh lebih banyak daripada pemerataan ekonomi dan manusia yang sejahtra dan makmur secara ekonomi.

Nothing is wrong. Large enterprises are making BIG money. Some people are getting poor. Look at some states in the US. Poor because business is moved to low costs countries.
'Some'? Did you just say 'some'?? That in my opinion was a deliberately dishonest choice of word. Not some but most, in fact the overwhelming majority, are struggling in ways we would not have thought possible just 20 years ago. For most a home is out of the question and then it's bad news all the way down. The very small number of ultra rich have since Reagan and Thatcher been in simplest terms stealing from us hand over fist - trillions and trillions - so that even in fairly well off countries the middle class, professionals, can't make ends meet, never mind the poor, which is what I am, and the reason I feel like slapping you. Something is definitely wrong, very, and I'm sure it wouldn't hurt you to stop spouting errant, naive nonsense and do some rudimentary learning with focus on events since the industrial revolution. You need some basic understanding of the thing 'neo-liberal capitalism.' Wages have been stagnant for 15 to 20 years. We are working harder for less and there is no such thing as job security anymore. Institutions are breaking down. COVID was a gigantic failure of globalisation, as was Trump, as is woke, as is climate change which I daresay you choose to deny. I think it's more accurate to say nothing is not wrong.
Wow, a forthright economist. I didn't know they made such a unicorn. With one misspoken statement. Luddites destroyed the machines because they were made to work like machines, with the machines. It's be nice if we dumped the industry revisionist histories. Flaw in the Heckscher-Ohlin model as implemented. Wiki:"The model essentially says that countries export products that use their abundant and cheap factors of production, and import products that use the countries' scarce factors." We aren't importing products that are scarce nor scarce labor skills. Nor are we compensating those who are left high and dry. Hence Trump.

Pretending to ask a question, while it is loaded with propaganda. "Trickle down" is a term that is clearly understood, and well defined. It is used by many economists as Ha Joon Chang did here.. it was also used by a United Nations study on "trickle down economics" It reminds of right wing racists... who are clearly racist and clearly support racist policies and yet are upset at being called racist, ... they prefer they were called "identitarians" or "real natives" or "concerned about their own people" They are more worried about being labelled racist than actually being racist. I understand some right wing ecomonic intellectuals like Thomas Sowell are "offended" by the term, and demand to know about an economist "who believes in trickle down" while he himself believes in and is a great advocate of Supply side economics or "Reagonomics"... He is more worried of being labelled a "trickle down economist" than actually proposing policies that "trickle down theory" describes
Once one concedes that a single world government is not necessary, then where does one logically stop at the permissibility of separate states? If Canada and the United States can be separate nations without being denounced as in a state of impermissible ‘anarchy’, why may not the South secede from the United States? New York State from the Union? New York City from the state? Why may not Manhattan secede? Each neighbourhood? Each block? Each house? Each person? Murray N. Rothbard

@@jungjunk1662 Haha this is true, but I am sure I look angry looking at my Law lecturers too.
I would guess they’re trying to concentrate through his accent.
Thank you Professor, for explaining so clearly what I had worked out but couldn't express.
wow outstanding very eye opening
Is that Gary Stevenson from Gary's economics You Tube Chanel listening in the front row?
Discurso dominante sobre la globalización. 3:35
Fascinating lecture and illuminating.
@19:41: this guy in front row, top right, is soooo bored !!!😂😂😂
Great talk by the Professor!!!
Excellent presentation. I notice Gary Stevenson is in the front row.
What is your point really,by saying that you have notice Gary Stevenson at the front row?.
@@achirakol2560 I have a lot of respect for Gary Stephenson. Interesting to see him here, though not surprising.
"If I told you that there are 55 planets in the universe with intelligent beings and all of them are vastly richer than the earth would you care? I wouldn't. I mean I can't even go there. Probably some of the delicacies these beings eat are toxic to me." Absolutely hilarious.
18:35 whoa whoa whoa.. you mean to say taxing the rich _more_ could be a way help those left behind regain their mobility and dignity??
So? If they don't want that they shouldn't enjoy openness policy.
Before buy into the illusion of progress, we must always consider it at the expense of what and what its long term implications might be. Clearly we haven't done a very good job of asking the more important questions. Or maybe they were being asked by the forward thinking few who were most likely ignored or silenced because they didn't have the ivy league degrees or the connections. The ones who pay the most for these mistakes are the ones at the lower rungs of the ladder, the voiceless, the peasant, the small business owner, Mother Nature. Shame on us for thinking that this will be the silver bullet.
As far as it is possible to tell, the word "globalisation" is a special interest version of the Gaian Planetary Actuality adapted for specific categories of commercial interactions.
When it comes to trade, has there been a comprehensive study, hopefully leading to various formulae, that analyses and defines the various authorities influencing trade? In the simplest sense, in the case of widgets being traded between entities, who determines the yes, no, this condition, not that condition, of trade? Is the process that dynamic or does it happen on a much more primitive mafia style model, i.e. the major players make deals that one or the other trade entity can't refuse? If the latter is the case, it would suggest that the only remedy for labour and/or all less influential players is armed insurrection. All the conjecture about what has happened to liberal policy are rendered a waste of time and intellect. "Technical terms" are a nonstarter if brute force is ultimately what drives the process, rendering any applied calculus a canard.
It looks like Ragnar Redbeard to me..
Canards fly over the heads of this audience.... They don't fly so low as to make them duck...
It might have been better to give these kids (presumably from Cambridge Uni UK) an hour with a computer game. Every time the camera pans to the listeners, I see bored faces. Don't they know how fortunate they are to have so good a professor helping them?
@Language and Programming Channel 'Nope'?
Presumably that's to my question regarding the kids being unaware of how fortunate they are.
Thanks for the heads-up on Kaplan, whose name I have heard and whom I may already have heard speaking. I will give him quick look anyway. Thanks.

OK I gave him another 22 minutes of my time - I had indeed heard him speak before, but I cannot remember about what.
How do you feel what he says in the linked video (if anything relates) relates to the kids in this New Economic Thinking video or to my observation about the kids being unable to pay attention or be appreciative of so good a professor?
In and of itself the linked video has some interesting points and I find I largely agree with them.
Perhaps when you suggested Kaplan, you weren't actually relating his views to this directly, but just offering the name of someone with interesting ideas on education.
Anyway, if you have something to offer on this...
Well actually their “bored faces” are “serious faces” required to show respect to Hajoon Chang and more importantly knowledge. So, I think they know very well how fortunate they are.
@@joelin5887 I disagree.

0:43 well nationalist not necessarily anti-foregin
liberal values etc is one thing, and enctre-left politics is a separate question, they're not idnetical or the same thing
Nothing - integration = efficiency, obviously. The problem is that ever-harder-to valorise/reproduce private ownership of the means of production means the value created by society goes to a minority of shareholders instead of society.
Basically, protectionism is a good thing. Nation states protecting their own home grown industries is a good thing. Globalism and free trade is bad, it does destroy local industries. It also leads to monopolies which is a bad thing.
The key is finding the right balance, it's not an either-or.
2:47 well that is just in line with the other tthings, as a consequence or cause
fascinating
Nothing is wrong with globalization unless you let capitalists define the form it takes. Otherwise it's just the continued growth of what mankind defines as "Us" and "We". We all win when humanity stops limiting it's potential based upon geographic proximity and superficial cultural decoration. From the family unit to the nation, every time our understanding of who is and can be a teammate expands outwards we all benefit. Standing against globalization also seems like the fastest way to ensure those capitalists get to implement it in the form they choose. Who has more power: the individual nation, standing alone based upon Grandpa's backwards notion of who his allies were or the strong unified collection of nations or states using collective bargaining to better their outcome? I guarantee the EU is in a better position than the UK to get favorable outcomes in a global future. Because they didn't step backwards to cling to an outdated notion of nations that benefits only the parasites who can more easily feed off of weakened and isolated populations who believe they are on their own.
Tai-Jan-Ciel-Lah . Thank you very much. Refreshing to learn from a Chinaman that I hadn't realized before: that we're in an historical reprise of something before; neoliberalism existed before ,esp 19th and beginning of 20th laisser faire centuries.
How great to be simultaneously greedy AND heroic! 😃
Good lecture.
Thank you
Double thumbs up!!! 👍👍
"Free-trade" was never free. Managed trade would be a better description. Failures of the neoliberal model are related to central planning. Critics of the market and proponents of central planning point to failed neoliberal policies. Deliberate slight of hand, or inept non-sequitur? The ivory tower continues unfazed.

How can we have access to these slides?
17:17 haha @Gary'sEconomics is there in the front row.
I think 'neoliberalism' and 'globalization' should have been better defined, in the sense of separated.
Good to see Gary Stevenson in the front row.
👏TOP Again.
Netherlands and Canada have not seen increases in inequality? Why cannot young people afford to buy a home?
it's same in South Africa 🇿🇦 too!

unemployment levels are same in the developed countries despite the fact that there is more people there now than before globalization. people from developing countries still want to live in developed countries. from the perspective of international solidarity and sharing, people from mexican auto industry have benefited by taking some jobs from americans.
It is my understanding that Mexican workers working for US companies are paid $2 an hour, worked hard, and told if they don't like it, they can be easily replaced. Pretty close to the US, where min wage for tipped workers is $2.13 an hour, and told the same.
Globalization is not an idealogical idea. It is a reality because of the technological capabilities of nations to move goods, services, knowledge and ideas all around the world combined with the need for importers and exporters to use these capabilities to benefit from such activities.
Then way doesn't war economies use globalization? When war planners have to mold the economy to produce arms as efficient as possible globalization goes right of the window as the logisticans see the fuel required to have such a dispraise supply chain not only could be better used to fuel the war machine but required you to spread out forces to protect it from the enemy thus war planners preferred compact vertically integrated national economies especially when it came to planning to win a nuclear war where globalization meant part of your supply chain would be where you are going to be dropping your nukes.
Technology doesn't dictate globalization and indifferent to it as long there is a complete supply line.
Gary Stevenson on the front row could have feigned a bit more interest.
Re: subsidized agriculture. Some nations do it because they do not want to be totally dependent on foreigners for their food.
That's always one of the motives, but for countries with more land I wonder how difficult it would be for some of the people to grow their own food (think victory gardens).
I like his morivtion
What's wrong with globalization? - Mainly it doesn't suit some politicians who want to pint it as something bad because it reduces their ability to gain power for themselves in many circumstances !!
And there is the mindless drone. :-)
maybe if angloamerican economy collapses and panic possesses the already hysterical us population they will be so busy trying to control the chaos inside that they will leave the world alone for a change.lets just hope.

Re second 26: Canada does not have a more open economy. To my understanding it has restrictions such that entities in certain industries must be Canadian owned and it is very controlled re the skills of who it lets in to the country .
I think that the sooner we learn to think of each other as one people the better. Because it seems we are built to fear the other.
@Garyseconomics can barely stay awake in the front row!
“Sub Saharan Africa” “The Caribbean” and “Latin America” aren’t countries they are regions
Globalization itself isn’t bad: the problem is neoliberalism
yep they are devil
The problem with globalization is that it has benefitted the few disproportionately at the expense of the many. When you create such a disequilibrium in the distribution of wealth and power, it is just a matter of time before equilibrium will be re-establishes ... sometimes quite violently.
@@Niko-lm3mb read Paul Treanor on Markets, including Liberalism (of capital) and the Neoliberal ideology. This ideology is tied to Milton Friedman, even tho he didn't use the word.
Neoliberalism is tied mostly to Reagan & Thatcher, then Bill Clinton & Tony Blair. It's *not* "The Left".
Treanor describes Neoliberalism like a religion of Markets that justifies massive govt intervention to protect investors.
Nope. Both are bad. International trade is needed with whatever the nation state needs, otherwise to hell with Globalisation.
They go hand in hand. Neoliberal ideology underpins globalization.
11:55 “in theory” people will benefit from globalization ... in reality not quite so
Hmm... sounds like another policy people still advocate for even though it's failed dozens of times.
@@DrewPicklesTheDark which is that
Kesalahan ekonomi global yang liberalistik tidak memberikan pemberdayaan dan tidak memberikan jaring pengaman bagi masyarakat yang tidak terakses oleh pendidikan suatu negara atau pendidikan global. Karena persaingan sempurna tanpa pendidikan yang memadai bagi seseorang akan menjadi korban dalam persaingan liberal itu. Makanya hingga sekarang kesenjangan dan kemiskinan jauh lebih banyak daripada pemerataan ekonomi dan manusia yang sejahtra dan makmur secara ekonomi. Bahkan politik yang kotor juga menghambat keadilan ekonomi itu karena politik ekonomi yang dijalankan cenderung rakus dan kurang manusiawi bagi perwujudan ekonomi kemanusian yang berkeadilan.
Nothing is wrong. Large enterprises are making BIG money. Some people are getting poor. Look at some states in the US. Poor because business is moved to low costs countries.
'Some'? Did you just say 'some'?? That in my opinion was a deliberately dishonest choice of word. Not some but most, in fact the overwhelming majority, are struggling in ways we would not have thought possible just 20 years ago. For most a home is out of the question and then it's bad news all the way down. The very small number of ultra rich have since Reagan and Thatcher been in simplest terms stealing from us hand over fist - trillions and trillions - so that even in fairly well off countries the middle class, professionals, can't make ends meet, never mind the poor, which is what I am, and the reason I feel like slapping you. Something is definitely wrong, very, and I'm sure it wouldn't hurt you to stop spouting errant, naive nonsense and do some rudimentary learning with focus on events since the industrial revolution. You need some basic understanding of the thing 'neo-liberal capitalism.' Wages have been stagnant for 15 to 20 years. We are working harder for less and there is no such thing as job security anymore. Institutions are breaking down. COVID was a gigantic failure of globalisation, as was Trump, as is woke, as is climate change which I daresay you choose to deny. I think it's more accurate to say nothing is not wrong.

There is nothing wrong with globalization. What is wrong is the mindless single-sourcing from a country like China, for instance.
Wow, a forthright economist. I didn't know they made such a unicorn.
With one misspoken statement. Luddites destroyed the machines because they were made to work like machines, with the machines. It's be nice if we dumped the industry revisionist histories.
Flaw in the Heckscher-Ohlin model as implemented. Wiki:"The model essentially says that countries export products that use their abundant and cheap factors of production, and import products that use the countries' scarce factors."
We aren't importing products that are scarce nor scarce labor skills. Nor are we compensating those who are left high and dry. Hence Trump.
Anyone find it off putting that he keeps using the terms “winners” and “losers”? Is this the way economics professors teach Economics? By using derogatory terms in this way?
maybe english is your second language but in context the term "loser" was not derogatory.
@@peterhooper2643it’s my first language, but I haven’t trained in Economics, so hearing those two terms, to me, denotes those who win in terms of financial success and those who lose.
Not sure how it’s contextualized in your economics classes.
Great lecture. Too bad it's wasted on those students. They don't appear to be engaged whatsoever. I guess daddy owns the company they will be managing soon.
Too many assumptions.
He lost me at the world growth rate, of course the growth rate goes down as the "low-hanging fruits" of innovation have been eaten already. Return on energy is going down as drilling oil gets harder etc
Replace globalization with colonization and it makes sense.
How are these even similar to things like banana wars
@@Johnjackjack money. IMF, WEF, and every world government/agency uses money not bullets to take over. bullets are only used when money doesn’t work.
can somebody tell me of one mainstream economics that has used and defended the term "trickle-down economics" ?
Pretending to ask a question, while it is loaded with propaganda.
"Trickle down" is a term that is clearly understood, and well defined. It is used by many economists as Ha Joon Chang did here.. it was also used by a United Nations study on "trickle down economics"
It reminds of right wing racists... who are clearly racist and clearly support racist policies and yet are upset at being called racist, ... they prefer they were called "identitarians" or "real natives" or "concerned about their own people"
They are more worried about being labelled racist than actually being racist.
I understand some right wing ecomonic intellectuals like Thomas Sowell are "offended" by the term, and demand to know about an economist "who believes in trickle down" while he himself believes in and is a great advocate of Supply side economics or "Reagonomics"...
He is more worried of being labelled a "trickle down economist" than actually proposing policies that "trickle down theory" describes
Once one concedes that a single world government is not necessary, then where does one logically stop at the permissibility of separate states? If Canada and the United States can be separate nations without being denounced as in a state of impermissible ‘anarchy’, why may not the South secede from the United States? New York State from the Union? New York City from the state? Why may not Manhattan secede? Each neighbourhood? Each block? Each house? Each person?
