the phenomenology of man clearly subjugates the topic of globalization, the juxtaposition here is that the poor remain poor, albeit the efforts of the proprietor.
The comments here indicate that no one has any idea what Prahalad is talking about.
To summarize:
In absolute terms globalization has been very good for the world's poor. There are 300 million fewer people living on less than a dollar a day today than [at some time in the past]. But though the poor are less poor, their income is not improving as rapidly as that of the urban upper classes.
The bad part is that if the poor feel they are falling behind (in relative terms) there may be unrest.
Globalization means more power to the people of wealth.. the elite with the Global agenda will be more powerful than ever.Canada is in control of its own treasure. Central banks are in charge of Americas debt. they create the Crisis then introduce change to manipulate the people so they think their gov. is fixing the problem. All citizens need to stand up to gov. and say " YOU WORK FOR US" everyone citizen should write a letter to their political representive. on all sides of the border.
