Elites: COVID-19 shows Globalization failed, so we need more Globalization!
Global Elites know one thing: Globalization caused the rapid spread of this coronavirus pandemic—COVID-19. Foreign Affairs posted this on March 16, 2020, “Not only has globalization allowed for the rapid spread of contagious disease but it has fostered deep interdependence between firms and nations that makes them more vulnerable to unexpected shocks. Now, firms and nations alike are discovering just how vulnerable they are.”
That’s the legacy of globalization.
We’ve off-shored too much. We’ve grown too connected.
A pandemic is a plane ride away.
Borders are porous.
We don’t really screen to keep the potentially sick out of the country.
