@ darthangel I'm very keen to hear any other alternatives that you favor as well as some of your reasoning behind your point of view on globalism.
Dictionary.com defines globalism as "the attitude or policy of placing the interests of the entire world above those of individual nations." That fits pretty well with my idea of what the word means ... just trying to make sure we're talking about the same thing.
I guess it comes down to who is determining "the interests of the entire world", if it is just a collection of individuals in it for their own benefit then yes it's probably going to make things worse. Globalism gives the leaders more power so I suppose the potential for corruption and subsequent inequality would increase.
