TIME MOYO MS MORE GLOBALIZATION PLEASE
DPhil, St Anthony's College, Oxford, Milner Group incubator
'Protectionism's false promise...'
'Public policy has not allowed full globalization a genuine chance to lift all boats'...This is the liberal bull I have pilloried by discussing just what genuine full globalization would mean for the Wealthier Western nations' average citizens' median or average income under convergence now long under way.
Same old nonsense, but aggressive re global policy targeting so called optimal, very large scale, migration levels.
She wants a lot of unhindered migration of perhaps billions of poor unemployed people of color into rich countries, regardless of cultural, linguistic, or religious backgrounds.
That's her way of getting greater political stability, democracy, and equality, everywhere. She doesn't like policies which promote American home ownership, claiming it should instead have been spent on infrastructure here, although her larger agenda is for economic growth mostly elsewhere anyway.
One ill concealed subtext implication is that more fully global average citizens of color would never be able to own a home, even on a very very small American scale, anyway, under global income convergence. She doesn't even want to hint at touching that convergence subject, although she rejects, as I do, the importance or relevance of globalization benefiting mostly the very rich, the typical liberal economist's bogey a la Piketty and Krugman.
I'll ask again, how much equality do you think you want?
Here's another closely related point:
Remember, in her utopian global democracy, people of color would vastly, vastly, outnumber those Western Europeans lacking much color at all. Call them colorless...
How much global democracy do you think you want? How much do you think your children, or their children would want?
Think about it. That is the last ditch ideological conundrum for the so called Boomer Generation, but I don't lay all, or even most of the blame on it, as some S & H Whig sophists do.
