Hasan "Globalization, Literacy and Ideology"

434
globalization - everything "flowing" across boundaries

conditional aspects of globalization

events following Berlin Wall

capitalism needs global markets (boom and bust)

faith in virtues of "free market"

has been a move in history

protect profit

436

WTO protesters - WTO exploiting poor countries
WTO claims - helping poor countries

growth, gowth growth!

WTO - effectively reducing ways in which poor countries can use local industry - wrapped up in "it's free!"

"The problem with specialized division of labor between nations is that some nations specialize in winning while others in losing"

"winners fix the rules"

437
 General Motors annual revenue = 8 countries combined! These countries don't have real power

list of oxymorons.
