One world?
Article Abstract:
Globalism in not a new trend. The 50 years prior to World War I was a time of widespread international commerce, but that ended with US protectionism. The second wave of globalization began in the 1970s when currencies were allowed to float. Technology and liberal trade laws are driving the new expansion.
