> fighting it is like punching a hurricane I strongly disagree. Protectionists have been elected many times in many countries. In the UK, there's a good chance they will with draw from the EU. Worldwide, progress for the WTO is dead. In the US, Trump and Sanders generally are against globalization, and even Clinton has rejected the TPP (on the campaign trail; we'll see what happens if she gets elected). Provide some evidence that globalization, especially in its current form, is irresistable. > Instead of fighting forces of nature, we should use them. E.g. reducing corporate tax. But that hasn't helped the working class, so why should they want to do that? So even more wealth can accrue to the wealthy few? > If standard of living is imbalanced, it will eventually find its level. And in the long run, we are all dead.
