"Poverty has been reduced around the world." I don't disagree with the essence of your post, but there is an implication there that I heard frequently and I want to dispute: the idea that globalization is automatically good for the poor people of the world. If you look to the data, the reduction in poverty is essentially due to China (and maybe India). It's the management by China of globalization (whatever we think of its others sins) what have reduced poverty in the world. Maybe globalization was necessary, but it was not sufficient.
