Uninformed opinion on globalization.
Many blame globalization. Unwilling or unable use critical thinking. Lacking knowledge about the subject. Globalization happened due executive deciding it was best option. Decision ended up creating more wealth. Average person saw major benefits. Creating opportunities causing economy to expand. Wealth spread across every major demographics. Poverty declined across the world. Economic growth saw new opportunities appear. Never happened by mistake or accident. Injustice not to tell or explain the choices. Executive made choices which caused it. Blaming globalization avoids executive decisions made after globalization. Executive can make choices, redistribution of wealth. Creating even bigger opportunities by investment. Addressing any structural weakness. Supporting the economy during times of weakness. Debt mainly government is largely an investment. Supporting the economy during low growth periods. What matters is how much growth debt fuels.
Globalization was not a bad policy. Making trade harder won’t bring back jobs. Resistance against technology does not improve lives. Certain choices could be viewed as terrible policy. Almost decade fiscal tightening major negative economic impact. Causing great pain even hatred of globalization. Hatred was already present just heighten it. Globalization is culture clash/economic with some identity politics. Obvious example immigration, concerns based around identity. Above examples executive does have some power. Executive has limited control over immigration.
Immigration impossible to cut migration, without negative economic consequences. Directly linked to trade these days. Trade negotiations non starter without migration rights. Industry demanded access to migrants, lobbying for lighter controls. Employment rights reduced for workers. Reducing job security, result was obvious. Limiting migration is not an option. Sectors using migrant Labour could leave without access to them. Certain industries lobbying for worker access. Choices made on shaping migration policy. Uninformed on choices ahead obvious now British public want changes. Stronger worker rights, choices to be made. Options on the table resetting the migrant policy. Difficult decisions converting vote leave into detailed policy platform.
Executive has control over shape of this policy. Making immigration more acceptable. Extra funding for public services, higher welfare spending. Grown up debate required on immigration. Very real debate must be had on nature of work. Public may get frustrated, could be years before any real ground changes happen. Conversation required, changing the language. Evidence needed creating sensible policy. Longest time certain choices removed off the table. Personal opinion liberal flexible immigration policy required. Worker rights must be reviewed.
No escape trade linked with migration. Not a recent trend, historic connection. When Britain started to trade began to trade with people. Opening up world created great wealth. Reopening trade barriers won’t bring wealth. Won’t deal with structural problems would cause damage. Open business rhetoric is worthless if you add red tape. Blaming globalization avoids executive decisions made after globalization. Executive can make choices.
Based my opinion, on knowledge gather together. Understand that globalization has been a good thing. May not see all the benefits opens up opportunities. Immigration with trade being the same. Why are people picking the alternatives?
Alternatives choices which clearly make society worse off. Minority always felt degree of disenchantment. Media played some role did not cause disenchantment. Reduced knowledge to an opinion over facts. Destroying critical thinking in the process. Political formed opinions painted as the truth. Angry towards globalisation, deindustrialisation. Elements coming together to complement each other. Voters faced with tough times did not like things as they are. Seeking out the best alternative.
Alternatives been rather ruthless. Not playing been the normal rules doing whatever it takes. Very real risk everything we hold dear could be destroyed. Forcing many to question what they believe in. Values held now subject to attacks. New normal must be tackled head on must offer something. People who voted for the alternative was just looking for answers. Need an alternative which benefits them.
