The lead story in yesterday's Wall Street Journal was about the economist Alan Blinder, who is raising doubts abut the true costs of globalization. The name rang a bell and, in looking back over some of the things I wrote last year, I came across this, which was a summary of Blinder's article in Foreign Affairs decrying the impact of globalization on education.
Blinder may be overly pessimistic, but then again, he may be correct in believing that we are at the beginning of another industrial revolution. The world has certainly changed dramatically over the past ten years and the rate of change does not appear to be slowing. We would be wise to at least listen to what he is saying.
