Globalization vs. Capitalization?
In the documentary, "Globalization is Good," Johan Norberg gives insight into how globalization has reduced global poverty and opened new horizons to developing countries. Norberg best proves his point by visiting, describing, and comparing the economic success of Taiwain (after globalization) and Vietnam (currently accepting gloablization) to that of Kenya, a country that has refused globalization and found itself deep in poverty and economic distress. Stay tuned for a more in depth blog that will include my personal opinions on Norberg's documentary as well as other globalization concerns.

Coming from a developing country, am very interested in knowing and understanding the various factors that are associated with reducing poverty globally. I really appreciate your interest and concern in one of the major issues which has marred the development of various nations.Looking forward to your posts on this topic.
I'm interested in your future thoughts. That globalization video was really interesting and they brought up some really good points. What was really striking is that portion in the video about how the Europeans would bring in grain, but they had enough grain. Yet, they couldn't sell their grain to Europe, because it was all government subsidized. I really makes me wonder how much the European governments have investigated in this.
