Politics, Economics and Investments

About the Book

Don believed the economic and financial markets have missed the key event holding back world growth: globalization. Globalization unleashed over one billion consumers and workers with the fall of the Berlin wall in 1990. The subsequent decline in communism was an historical economic event which had both positive and negative elements. The most negative element for the developed world was the limits on growth which are thus limiting employment. As the developed world has tried to maintain its lifestyle, even with the slower growth, it has resorted to more and more debt. Many advanced countries are now approaching historically dangerous debt levels. The resolution of this struggle between developed and developing countries will prove whether globalization has been a positive or negative force.
