The politics of globalization are heating up fast as the anxiety produced by the power of free-flowing capital and goods skyrockets. Amazingly, a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC poll revealed that in the United States, by a two to one majority, even Republicans believe free trade is hurting America. The troubling turbulence of the sub-prime driven Great Credit Crisis of 2007-2008 hasn’t helped matter either. It is the latest rallying cry for the anti-globalization forces gathering on the horizon…”policy don’t appreciate the fragile nature of today’s global financial system and how financial induced prosperity can stealthily slip away through the unintended consequences of well-intentioned policy actions that attempt to legislate or regulate economic security.”
