ABSTRACT

It has been said that arguing against globalization is like arguing against the law of gravity. But that does not mean we should accept a law that allows only heavyweights to survive. On the contrary: we must make globalization an engine that lifts people out of hardship and misery, not a force that holds them down. We must build partnerships strong enough to make sure that the global market is embedded in broadly shared values and practices that reflect global needs, so that globalization can benefit all the world's people.
