2001 Economics Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz says “the world is getting less flat,” a reference to Thomas Friedman's book The World is Flat, about globalization.
Inequality is increasing not just between rich and poor countries but also within countries. China has managed globalization reasonably well, but other countries have not.
Stiglitz talks of de-development in Moldovia (which just like Burma is sliding backwards) and about global warming and intellectual property agreements.
This talk was given at Google when Stiglitz was doing his book tour for his book Making Globalization Work.
Highly recommended.
