On the localist/resilient extreme in a developing world village you have the problems of:
* Inefficiency
* Lack of options
* Stupid business practices uncritically continued

On the globalist/efficient extreme in the USA, for example, you have the problems of:
* Economic dependence on large, national players that can leave at any time
* Business proprietors feel no social responsibility to your community because they do not live there and interact with locals
* Little power in deciding what products businesses offer
* Profits enriching another place rather than your own place
I don't want either of these.
