no - globalisation is not the problem.
only with globalisation you can optimize prosperity.
prosperity means that people can afford to buy MANY things with the existing budget.
this is only possible if they can participate on the advantages other countries have.
this can be raw materials, technology or low production costs.
the unanswered question here is how to prevent unfairness in a global market.
here are some examples:
company A is exporting goods to company B (what is owned by A) in another country
for a very low price. but this price is not beeing forwarded to the consumer in this country it is just for safing taxes in the country of company A.
company A will not IMPORT their profits and do not pay tax on them.
but A is profiting from all what in this country exists. streets, infrastructure, knowhow and much more. and all that is paid by the normal tax payers in the country what do not have the same chance to export their profits.
so the real goal is exactly on that point to find ways to lead all profits (no matter where they are realized) back into the GLOBAL CHAIN.
i will try to explain that in a simple example:
if you have 3 brothers and you 4 want to build a house than you would be stupid to let the brickwork this brother do who needs the longest time for it. you will give that to this brother who works faster (what in regards to the global economy means: cheaper)
if all 4 of you can do everything but paint you will ask a neighbour to do it for you.
now you can chose between 2 neigbours but onbe of them makes the work in the half time (or for the half price) you would 100% chose him because you can buy from the safed money more things for yourself. and possibly you can buy this from the neighbour who gave you a bad price for the painting job but he have very cheap apples what he grows in his garden.
this is how global economy works. that everyone get the advantage from the other.
the word "quality" is a word what have changed the meaning in the past 100 years.
it is a word what needs a relation.
i.e.: if you are usually buying a new car every 5 years it is not a question if this car will work for 50 years. for you it is inmportant that it works 5 years and thatīs why you would never pay the price for such a car even if it would last for 50 years.
another example:
if a person would make 1000 dollars a month 40 years ago and there would not be any increase in this ammount he have only ONE CHANCE to gain prosperity: to buy things cheaper.
if he can buy 2 breads 40 years later for the same price he paid 40 years before for one - his prosperity have doubled up.
there are many more examples what i could write down now but in fact it is a problem of our own memory and the human peculiarity to become increasingly dissatisfied with increasing prosperity.
but yes - there are problems what have to be resolved and that can not be done with the same messures. we in the western civilisation are profitting from global trade by buying a new car every 5 years and the realtion to that is that a worker in some natiron of the world ganed the same or even MORE prosperity from that by beeing able to feed his family with a pot of rice.
for me - and that makes me different thinker from other globalists - this is NOT unfair because it is a question of relation. a piece of bread can make some people more happy as i am when i buy a new ferrari.
this is OUR advantage - and this is what we have to respect.
the problem is, that the much bigger part of this advantage is taken by people like trump and all his gang.
all this guy saying and doing is the opposite of what he said. if you understand economy (and i think i do because i am a professional in that) it is so clear that he does not make things better for the american people. he makes life better for them who are the resonsable for the problems.
and he is a dumb - but not dumb enough that he have just a short time for change the things for him and his billionair friends. he will not lose this time by doing anything for the americans. he is an egocentric and his only knowledge is how to pull people over the table without beeing catched.
a country does not work the same corrupt an inhuman way as you can make a company profitable. a country does favours for itīs citizens - in a company is no place for favours.
