globalization as free trade is peace.
globalization as cultural imperialism, central planning, and forced socialism/multiculturalism/democracy leads to extremely violent backlashes.
many people in the third world experience the latter, not the former.
free trade is not the US setting up an exploitative relationship with a third world country via offering incentives to that countries ruling class. free trade means there doesn't need to be any treaties, merchants in one country trade with merchants in another without interference, and both sides uphold basic property rights that allow business to flourish.
