Defending Globalization
Globalization today faces renewed attention—and criticism. Like any market phenomenon, the free movement of people, things, money, and ideas across natural or political borders is imperfect and often disruptive. But it has also produced undeniable benefits—for the United States and the world—that no other system can match. Defending Globalization is a new Cato Institute multimedia project on all aspects of the fundamentally human activity that we call “globalization.”
