Which is, of course, why the anti-globalisation activists hate the whole thing so much. Because it makes a complete mockery of the idea of social change as something they direct and they can control. It is of a society directed by a revolutionary elite who control all aspects of social life in order to create a transformed humanity and a transformed society. These people claim they are so concerned about poverty, yet there is nothing more predictable than that the policies they espouse will create, extend and entrench mass poverty. They hate globalisation as the expression of the success of capitalism, and of the collapse of socialism.
Globalisation is simply the application of liberal capitalism on a global stage.
And liberal capitalism is the only form of society which has sustainably delivered mass prosperity, mass longevity, mass freedom and mass democracy. It delivers these things because it allows a myriad of economic agents to make their own choices, through property rights, the rule of law and free and open political processes. Globalisation is just the logical extension of this. Liberal capitalism is the most dynamic social system humanity has ever created. But it remains a boon.
