Today we’ve published three great new essays for Cato’s [Defending Globalization](https://www.cato.org/defending-globalization) project:

- **[Globalization and Growing Global Equality](https://www.cato.org/publications/globalization-growing-global-equality)**, by Chelsea Follett, documents how—contrary to the conventional wisdom—the last few decades of globalization have seen unambiguous declines in global inequality across a variety of metrics, including income inequality, education inequality, and more.
- **[The Reality of American “Deindustrialization”](https://www.cato.org/publications/reality-american-deindustrialization)**, by Colin Grabow, debunks the myth of American “deindustrialization” and shows instead that the US manufacturing sector remains a global powerhouse and vibrant part of the US economy.
- **[Globalization Has Propelled India to Prosperity](https://www.cato.org/publications/globalization-has-propelled-india-prosperity)**, by Swaminathan S. Anklesaria Aiyar, traces India’s opening to the global economy and subsequent economic growth, while cautioning that much work remains to be done.

We also have a [new video](https://www.cato.org/multimedia/cato-video/globalization-race-bottom-or-top) of Cato Senior Fellow Johan Norberg and me discussing his Defending Globalization [essay](essay) on the supposed “race to the bottom”:
