That's the most eloquent and convincing statement of the argument that I've seen. But I strongly disagree. Under the pre-globalization regime, power and money cross borders but small scale economic forces do not. This gives multinational corporations a devastating advantage over everyone else.
Economic globalization is the only available route toward encircling the multinationals.
So long as economies are closed, the multinationals can go where unions and environmental law cannot reach and there is no chance of controlling their false economies of exploitation and destruction. Economic globalization also plays important roles in deterring war, protection minority cultures within nations, protecting the poorest, and protecting the environment of poor countries. The opposition seems to come from labor and environmental groups in rich countries who don't want to be lumped together with labor and environment in the rest of the world. It clearly helps Mexican environmental protection. Surely Chernobyl has shown why we all need to be concerned with the weakest links in global environmental protection.
