Charting globalisation’s discontents

The same folks who are confident in Darwin's theories are also the same folks who support government intervention. In Star Trek, that is the equivalent of violating the Prime Directive (non-intervention by an alien specie).

These are also the same folks who try to sell unfair trade practices as "free trade," unconcerned about the affects on a local labor pool.

Nationalism is a direct response to the inconsistent, illogical, and obviously unfair, methods of the progressive, globalist left. When a system fails, people want protection.

The quagmire for the globalists is to decide who to protect. So far, it has been the globalist elite.

So many complicated words and analysis for something so simple to understand. Globalization create distinct winners and losers. The winners are left in charge of helping the losers cope and recover but the winners have no incentive or pressure to bend over backward to help the losers. Why? Because the winners already got what they wanted since they are winners!

When a large factory is moved out from a neighborhood, the federal or state government is expected to help with retraining the local workforce. But retraining for what skills? Is the government going out of its way to bring new jobs to the locality that match the new trainees' skills? The answer is NO. It's too much work for the government. So, the unemployed who are left behind are really left ON THEIR OWN to pick up the pieces and start from scratch. Globalization is a one way street theory that only values the part in the theory that works without any consideration whatsoever for the part that does not work.

Even though the problem of the chart is explained it doesn't solve the discontent of some groups who then tend to be attracted by simple solutions and can reject the globalisation as a whole. It should be investigated how to help these groups.
