Very few people, groups, or governments oppose globalization in its entirety. Instead, critics of 
globalization believe aspects of the way globalization operates should be changed. The debate over 
globalization is about what the best rules are for governing the global economy so that its advantages can 
grow while its problems can be solved. 
On one side of this debate are those who stress the benefits of removing barriers to international trade and 
investment, allowing capital to be alloca...opment strategies that did not follow neo-liberalism. These critics think 
that government encouragement of “infant industries” - that is, industries that are just beginning to develop - 
enables a country to become internationally competitive. 
Furthermore, those who criticize the Washington Consensus suggest that the inflow and outflow of money 
from speculative investors must be limited to prevent bubbles. These bubbles are characterized by the rapid 
inflow of foreign funds that bid up domestic stock markets and property values. When the economy cannot 
sustain such expectations, the bubbles burst as investors panic and pull their money out of the country. 
 Protests by what is called the anti-globalization movement are seldom directed against globalization itself 
but rather against abuses that harm the rights of workers and the environment. The question raised by 
nongovernmental organizations and protesters at WTO and IMF gatherings is whether globalization will result 
in a rise of living standards or a race to the bottom as competition takes the form of lowering living standards 
and undermining environmental regulations. 
One of the key problems of the 21st century will be determining to what extent markets should be 
regulated to promote fair competition, honest dealing, and fair distribution of public goods on a global scale.

New surveys suggest that the technological tools we use to make our lives easier are killing our leisure 
time. We are working longer hours, taking fewer and shorter vacations (and when we do go away, we take 
our cell phones, PDAs, and laptops along). And, we are more stressed than ever as increased use of e-mail, 
voice mail, cell phones, and the Internet is destroying any idea of privacy and leisure. 
Since the Industrial Revolution, people have assumed that new labor-saving devices would free them from 
the burdens of the workplace and give them more time to grow intellectually, creatively, and socially - 
exploring the arts, keeping up with current events, spending more time with friends and family, and even just 
‘goofing off’. 
But here we are at the start of the 21st century, enjoying one of the greatest technological boom times in 
human history, and nothing
