The economics and philosophy of globalization

Yazdani, Naveed and Mamoon, Dawood (2012): The economics and philosophy of globalization.

Abstract

The economics and philosophy of Globalization are generally not discussed together. This paper assesses the claims of economic prosperity through economic integration in the backdrop of cultural, political and social value system implications of Globalization. This debate becomes important when we see a major part of developing world still struggling with impoverishment while cheerleaders of Globalization already claim a success story out of increased integration of developed and developing economies post 1980s.
