2 . Over the past few decades, more and more countries have opened up the markets, increasingly transforming the world economy into one free-flowing global market. The question is: Is economic globalization _______ for all?
According to the World Bank, one of its chief supporters, economic globalization has helped reduce ___________ in a large number of developing countries. It quotes one study that shows increased wealth _________ to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries as a result of integration (融合) of local economies into the world economy. Home to some three billion people, these twenty-four countries have seen incomes _______ at an average rate of five percent—compared to two percent in developed countries.
Those who _______ globalization claim that economies in developing countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses. _______, small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in _______ open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet.
Critics take a different view, believing that economic globalization is actually _______ the gap between the rich and poor. A study carried out by the U.N.-sponsored World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually _______ from integration into the world economy and that the poor, the uneducated, unskilled workers, and native peoples have been left behind. ____________, they maintain that globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses. For example, Indian craftsmen who currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to ____________ their products may soon face fierce competition that could put them out of ____________. When large-scale manufacturers start to produce the same goods, or when superstores like Wal-Mart move in, these small businesses will not be able to ____________ and will be crowded out.
One thing is certain about globalization—there is no ____________. Advances in technology combined with more open policies have already created an interconnected world. The ____________ now is finding a way to create a kind of globalization that works for the benefit of all.1.
