The ideology of globalization assumes that national impulses are primitive, tribalist hangovers and that the desire of say, Indians to have an economy not dominated by German corporations is a disease to be cured. 2.Economic growth is desirable regardless of social disruption.

Unsophisticated advocates ignore harm and look at total growth rates.
More sophisticated advocates acknowledge harm and emphasize the need for all to benefit - but they ignore relative growth inside and between countries.

Both world wars and the national uprisings against the Soviet empire are proof enough.
