When many people talk about globalization, they make it seem like it is a recent phenomenon. But globalization has been with us throughout history. When Arab traders came to Melaka centuries ago and brought not only their products but also their religion, that was globalization.
Some people think the debate about globalization is whether it is good or bad.
To me, globalization just is. Those countries, those companies, those people who adjust to a changing world will do better. Those who resist will suffer. The world keeps changing. But if we cling to the ideas and models of yesterday, we surely will pay a price.
