Paper Summary:

Martin Wolf in the book "Why Globalization Works" firmly puts forth the idea that an integrated world economy founded on market relationships is the best model for economic growth and prosperity.

This paper provides an overview of the book. It includes quotes from the original text.

From the Paper:

"Additionally, Wolf also dismisses every argument that the critics make by producing valid arguments and numbers that help prove that globalization is good for all countries. While workers in the western nations have been investigating the issues of job loss and retraining that unskilled workers have to do, the developing nations can use unskilled workforce more effectively because of lower labor wages. Many countries, as a result of the open markets, come under intense pressure as a result of the talent, technology, capital, and institutions brought into a regional or small market by large-scale multi-national enterprises from developed nations".
