On change

To David Crane:

So globalization is growing whether we like it or not? Just because something is changing doesn’t mean the change is justified even if it is cast as inevitable. We have the power to change direction or change back through our collective will.

You say globalization can bring riches to all as long as we work together to control its temper? its habit of encouraging gross inequalities in economies? That’s a commendable vision but it's impossible to realize as long as corporatism continues to buy or bully into service the policies, mechanisms and institutions of the global economy while preventing citizens from influencing its direction through voting by ballot and not relative to purchasing power.

Also, Happy New Year.
