Globalization is simply opening the free marketplace to encompass the entire world.

Globalization is a fact of economic life.

'Globalization' has become the great tag phrase, but when we talk about it, it's nearly always in terms of the global marketplace or communications technology - either data or goods that are whizzing around. We forget that people are whizzing around more and more. On them, it takes a toll.

Globalization requires taking a broad contextual and long-term view.

The regime of globalization promotes an unfettered marketplace as the dynamic instrument organizing international relations.

This is a basic requirement the meaning of globalization is that we should admit that the economy of each country is dependent on the economy of all the others.

Globalization, as defined by rich people like us, is a very nice thing... you are talking about the Internet, you are talking about cell phones, you are talking about computers. This doesn't affect two-thirds of the people of the world.

Globalization means we have to re-examine some of our ideas, and look at ideas from other countries, from other cultures, and open ourselves to them. And that's not comfortable for the average person.

There is going to be globalization, but we need to do it under terms - under rules that work as rules work for our domestic economy on the dynamic of capitalism. You need to do trade in the same way.

Globalization is not a monolithic force but an evolving set of consequences - some good, some bad and some unintended. It is the new reality.
