Based on the Why Globalization Works piece, explain how the author says globalization seems to create a problem in inequality, but does not actually create a problem with which we need to be concerned. How is it that globalization seems on the one hand not to benefit the poor, but actually does? What does he seem to use to measure quality of life?
In the latter part of your answer, try to consider some objectives you make to the author’s argument. What might be problematic about the measure of progress he uses? (Two suggestions for supporting your argument: look at the GDP levels of the countries before and during the second World War; alternatively, discuss Wright’s concerns about the value of the “free time” in relation to GDP.)
This is the PDF for Wright’s “whats so bad about capitalism”
