• Economic Globalization provides businesses with a competitive advantage by allowing them to source raw materials where they are inexpensive. Globalization also gives organizations the opportunity to take advantage of lower labor costs in developing countries, while leveraging the technical expertise and experience of more developed economies.

• Different parts of a product may be made in different regions of the world. 

• More jobs in countries where jobs are needed, which can have a positive effect on the national economy and result in a higher standard of living. 

• Consumers will benefit too because globalization decreases the cost of manufacturing. This means that companies can offer goods at a lower price to consumers.

• Workers in the developed world must compete with lower-cost markets for jobs; unions and workers may be unable to defend against the threat of corporations that offer the alternative between lower pay or losing jobs to a supplier in a less expensive labor market.

·• Economic Globalization may contribute to income disparity and inequality between the more educated and less educated members of a society. This means that unskilled workers may be affected by declining wages, which are under constant pressure from globalization.

• It encourages the development and spreading of disease. Having a globalized economy means that there will be more people traveling internationally than ever before. As the 2014 Ebola outbreak showed, an illness can spread quickly when people hop onto airplanes and can travel anywhere in the world in 2 days or less. With more people doing this, more diseases are going to spread into places of the world where they generally aren’t seen today.

It allows international trade, reduces marginal tax rates, deregulation of markets, and reduces government debt. There were a lot of lawmakers who were all about removing restrictions on markets and allows the market to operate free of any impediments in which societal resources are distributed efficiently and justly such as deregulating capital markets, eliminating price controls, and reducing through privatization in the economy.

It's all about the free movement of goods, resources, and businesses to always locate cheaper resources and increase profitability and efficiency. To make it possible they raise profits by minimizing the costs of investment and having the market have a free operation with a long-run advantage to improved economic welfare and individual freedom. Resources can be utilized by investing in research and development without restrictions and regulations which open businesses to more possibilities to develop new products, and venture into foreign countries.

Because globalization supposed to bring benefits to both developed and less developed countries, on the contrary, it generated antipathy or aversion to these countries due to inequitable share of benefits many of the less developed countries made worst off it while developed countries get the largest share of the gains due to the asymmetric way of globalization. Gaining global economic stability without the appropriate safeguards and capital market liberalization have been pushed too far that consequences in greater instability. Few countries learned how to manage globalization for their own benefit while leaving other countries to not be able to afford products such as generic medicines needed to sustain lives which puts economic values (profits) over the interest of the value of life.]]> 2021-10-22 03:47:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rsr0260/s29c23cmrzt3ord0/wish/1835400220
