Unequal Benefits of Economic Globalisation

Vlatko Mileta ; Faculty of Political Science, University of Zagreb

Abstract

On their annual meeting, the seven wealthiest countries in the world (G-7, Okinawa, 23rd and 24th July 2000) focused on two subjects in their discussion: genetic food production and globalisation. In the final document the urgency to reform the world economy was especially emphasised. The author analyses the positive and negative aspects of globalisation and concludes that the world can and must exist without globalisation, that endlessly multiplies the profits of the global corporations, and they, on their part, multiply poverty and by their uncontrolled activities jeopardise the survival itself. To the question who is for and who is against globalisation, the author answers with a rejoinder: who is for the general benefit of globalisation and who is for the individual profit?
