From the Paper:

"Liberalization is a process of enhancing collective measures to integrate economies, not only via goods and services but via governance, investment, trade, and aid. As liberalization has progressed, it is clear that the most advanced countries have gained the most from the integration of economies; as such there is a widening gap between developed/advanced countries and developing/underdeveloped countries. Does liberalization favor high-income countries to low-income countries? The coffee industry highlights a common problem with many agricultural products that are marketed within developed regions - impoverished societies characterized poor development trends with a final product that is booming in the industry."
