Quote

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

Globalization is a fact of economic life.

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' 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.

The Industrial Revolution caused a centuries-long shift in power to the West; globalization is now shifting the balance again.

Globalization doesn't have to be a bad thing as long as government provides us all with the tools to cope in a changing world.

Globalization is the process by which markets integrate worldwide.

I like globalization; I want to say it works, but it is hard to say that when six hundred million people are slipping backwards.

We cannot wait for governments to do it all. Globalization operates on Internet time. Governments tend to be slow moving by nature, because they have to build political support for every step.
