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 allocated more efficiently and giving consumers greater freedom of choice. 
With free-market globalization, investment funds can move unimpeded from the rich countries to the 
developing countries. Consumers can benefit from cheaper products because reduced taxes make goods 
produced at low cost from faraway places cheaper to buy. Producers of goods gain by selling to a wider 
market. More competition keeps sellers on their toes and allows ideas and new technology to spread and 
benefit others. 
On the other side of the debate are critics who see neo-liberal policies as producing greater poverty, 
inequality, social conflict, cultural destruction, and environmental damage. They say that the most developed 
nations - the United States, Germany, and Japan - succeeded not because of free trade but because of 
protectionism and subsidies. They argue that the more recently successful economies of South Korea, Taiwan, 
and China all had strong state-led de...lt 
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.
