Hayoung Lim, Chapter 12, Question 6

What I found most interesting from this Chapter was, as Charles Wheelan states it, that the antiglobalization coalitions are basically a Coalition to Keep the World's Poor People Poor. Although unwittingly it is still true that without globalization a developing country could not increase its GDP and bring their citizens out of poverty and into the middle class. I loved the statement he adds on how ones inability to understand environmental differences is what leads to coalitions like the anti-globalization ones that in a whole are actually detrimental to those being told what is best for them. Making this another proponent to the concept that people will act in rational self interest and that when people are given independence it works in everyones favor. Though the sweat shops of Bangladesh look inhumane, when viewed through "rich goggles", we realize that they are actually not only usually the best options but will also increase productivity and human capital that in turn actually solve the problem of sweat shops in the first place.
