Can globalization reduce poverty??

Question

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS???

DO YOU HAVE ANY WEBSITES TO BACK THIS UP??

Answer 1

if by poverty do you mean absolute wealth, will each individual be at least somewhat better off, i think that the answer would be yes

if by poverty you mean the range between the richest and the poorest, probably it will make things worse

and between these two concepts of poverty lies mountains of angst

Answer 2

Our world is already experiencing globalization.  There's certainly positives and negatives in globalization but it has not been shown to reduce poverty.  That's not to say that it couldn't potentially- it just hasn't so far.
