Among the world population of roughly seven billions, there’re still four billions of people lack of food and water, starving everyday.  While rich developed countries hold the majority of world wealth, it is time to think of how globalization as a trend should play its role in this uneven world.  Rather than political collusion and corruption perceived by anti-globalization protectionists, globalization per se could be of sheer cooperation and collaboration on a global level, cross-border, cross-culture, cross-religion, and cross economy. 

It’s clear that more and more developing or the newly industrialized countries are embracing for the merits of global trade.  Following BRIC (Brazil, Russian, India, and China) is NEXT ELEVEN (Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, South Korea, Turkey, and Vietnam).  Not only these countries start to taste the fruits of capitalism, but also to position themselves in an international stage better than ever before.  We will be seeing a growing number of economic evolutions for other countries following their predecessors’ steps. 

The trade should be more free. Everything has its pros and cons.  It’s important to think positively and optimistically that emerging is a global broader market, which is full of opportunities, instead of worrying about wage decrease, or even temporary loss of jobs.   The surging exports of coal to China have actually pushed up wages and have led to more job creations for U.S. miners as well as port and rail workers. According to the recent survey, commissioned by the German Marshall Fund of the U.S., forty-six percent of Europeans down from fifty percent in 2005 believe free trade costs jobs than it creates, while fifty-seven percent of Americans said free trade costs more jobs, up from fifty-one percent. Europeans seem have become slightly more open than Americans. Do not blame for free economics, given that the economy is in its stagflation. The ways to tackle it are sound policies for long-term growth, reduced abusive lending, proper credit management, and stringent spending control. It’s not healthy to wage up protectionism, which sharply reduces work and investment incentives, worsening the situation. It is like going backward whereas others progress. Trade liberation and economic freedom are vital and should be preserved to stimulate one country’s economy.  Looking overseas to offset weak spending at home.  One Chinese’s proverb: teach them how to fish, rather than giving them fish.  Governments should educate, train, and assist entrepreneurs to carry their visions and ambitions across the globe, not to limit competition, constraining their abilities.
