From the Paper:

"Stiglitz makes other arguments throughout his book and it is important to discuss some of them briefly here or at least point them out, as they could be important for discussion in the future as globalization continues to move forward. One of the things that Stiglitz does when it comes to be internationalization of economics is to compare the United States and other countries. It does not seem accurate for Stiglitz to compare these, however, because the social structures and the economic structures of many countries are so very different. It is true that they are all experiencing globalization, but the experiences had by those in other countries and by those in the United States will be very different both socially and economically and therefore there does not seem to be any direct comparison that is able to be made.
