"The successful people and organizations of tomorrow will invent the future. It is very exciting to be involved in that process."

Gary Waissi
New dean of Arizona State University's School of Global Management and Leadership, a post he assumes in August

"The United States, especially, has been able to absorb the huge implicit tax of rising oil prices so far," because the nation has become "far more flexible" over the past three decades because of globalization and less regulation, Greenspan told a Senate hearing. It was his first appearance before congress since leaving the Federal Reserve in January. (Then he warned that high energy costs may finally be showing some effect.)

Arizona Republic

"The United Nations has tapped Valley (Phoenix area) resident and Intel Corp. Chairman Craig Barrett to head the new Global Alliance for Information and Communication Technologies and Development. The alliance is dedicated to expanding access to technology worldwide." (thus, in my opinion, leveling the playing field more and causing the world to become more informed and more competitive)

Now, here's the question. Should the United States be participating in the globalization process?

Yes or no?

We should be globalizing the rule of law and the democratic process, both of which we are failing at home.

Pointrider, I don't know how to answer these questions because it is all in the details. We don't have free trade with Canada right now (just look at the lumber dispute) and the "free trade" agreements we have had have been ones that allow companies to profit from overseas cheap labor and standards at the cost of those at home. Should we shoot ourselves in the foot this way?

Econ, The economic doomsday prophets and shills for commodities and investments and organizations dependent upon hard times and doom and gloom for their sales/profits are wrong about the effects of Free Trade Agreements and the effect they have upon agriculture, as is obvious according to the facts about the US economy posted by agman on another thread, as well as other sources.

MRJ, what has "free trade" policies done for domestic agriculture? Are we in a better position or worse for it in terms of our sales?

I will give you a hint. We currently have a huge record setting trade deficit. The most notable import for us is foreign capital.

Could you look at the reality instead of the rhetoric?
