Globalization is the result of powerful governments, especially that of the United States, pushing trade deals and other accords down the throats of the world's people to make it easier for corporations and the wealthy to dominate the economies of nations around the world without having obligations to the peoples of those nations.
In "Profit Over People: Neoliberalism and Global Order," Noam Chomsky argues that globalization is driven by influential governments, particularly the United States. He suggests that these governments impose trade agreements and policies that primarily benefit corporations and the wealthy, often at the expense of local populations. This dynamic enables a select few to exert significant control over global economies without regard for the needs and rights of the people within those nations.
Chomsky's critique highlights the imbalance created by neoliberal practices, where economic policies prioritize profit over social welfare. This approach facilitates the domination of corporate interests globally, contributing to a system where the voices of ordinary people are marginalized. Ultimately, Chomsky calls attention to the consequences of globalization as a tool for enhancing inequality rather than promoting equitable development.
