Default Re: What moral attitude should we take toward Globalism?

The big problem with globalism is that a few (relatively)global corporations have become economicaly and politically powerful to the extent that they are the dogs that wag the tails of national governments.

They negatively influence culture.

They provide employment to third world workers, but the pay and working conditions are the same as 19th century industrial conditions in the US and Europe. Most of them can't afford to buy what they make.

Last but not least, the close-knit group that controls global corps and national governments have for many decades caused wars and genocide for profit.
