About Globalization


I read an article "America's Middle Class Is Unlucky" in The Atlantic website.

I was surprised that it said :

'Chronically, the bash brothers of globalization and technology have bashed away at middle-class jobs, hacking away at manufacturing employment and hollowing out routine-based work that paid okay wages.'

Globalization and technology have deprived middle-class people of their jobs. Is it common recognition among American people? Or Does this writer represent minority ?

In recent Japan , if you say 'Globalization is stealing middle-class jobs now' , economic experts(professional , amateur or self-appointed) argue against your opinion , I imagine.

In Japan , earning middle-class income have become harder in a decade like the US.
Manufacturing Giants have shifted their production abroad.
Some companies began to ask their works  to foreign companies.
Technology enabled foreign workers to compete with us. More than that , they have advantage of low cost.

However , our leaders and economic experts(very questionable people) repeated ,
"Globalization gives us big opportunities.
Globalization is destiny.
Globalization is sweet, sweet dream.
Globalization never hurt you. Never.
Globalization never hurt you. Never."

This can be subjective view of mine , but I assure that 'globalization' usually have positive nuance here (said by sometimes questionable people).

At least , if not positive , globalization is our unavoidable destiny. We had not no choice but to accept it. Even in this case , it may not be allowed that you ascribe middle-class plights to globalization.

If there are people thinking that globalization does not make us happy , our leaders will teach this infidels any number of times: "Globalization never hurt you. Never."
