Over the past few decades, more and more countries have opened up their markets, increasingly 16 the world economy into one free-flowing global market. The question is: Is economic globalization 17 for all?
According to the World Bank, one of its chief supporters, economic globalization has helped reduce 18 in a large number of developing countries. It quotes one study that shows increased wealth 19 to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries as a result of integration (融合)of local economies into the world economy. Home to 20 three billion people, these twenty-four countries have seen incomes 21 at an average rate of five percent 22 to two percent in developed countries.
Those who 23 globalization claim that economies in developing countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses. 24 , small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in 25 open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet.
Critics take a different view, believing that economic globalization is actually 26 gap between the rich and poor. A study 27 by the U.N.-sponsored World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually 28 from integration(融合)into the world economy and that the poor, the uneducated, unskilled workers, and native peoples have been left behind. 29 , they maintain that globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses. For example, Indian craftsmen who currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to 30 their products may soon face fierce competition that could put them out of 31 . When large-scale manufacturers start to produce the same goods, or when superstores like Wal-Mart 32 , these small businesses will not be able to 33 and will be crowded out.
One thing is certain about Globalization—there is no 34 . Advances in technology combined with more open policies have already created an interconnected world. The 35 now is finding a way to create a kind of globalization that works for the benefit of all.
