Academic Perspectives on Globalization and Economics

Dr. Konz gave a lecture on Globalization, Economics and the underlying perspectives and world views that are driving Globalization.

Here are a few highlights:


 * Globalization has been going on for over 400 years.
 * Globalization is about crossing national borders - sometimes it is goods that cross borders, sometimes workers, sometimes ideas, capital, or institutions.
 * The new face is globalization is about fluid movement of capital across borders.
 * Ideas of freedom and free market and certain definitions of "good for all" are pushing globalism.
