Globalization

Most of the world’s consumer goods are made in China. Most of our debts are produced in the US. Most of our meat and soy comes from Latin America. Can neoliberal capitalism ultimately sustain a truly globalized world with one integrated economy? How free is a free market economy when there is only one market left? Is it possible that the entire planet will, from that moment, suddenly adopt collaborative, open design and innovation?
