Juhasz suggests that globalization-as seen through free trade arrangements,international deregulation,and more flexible financial policies-has failed to alleviate global economic inequality and poverty.In fact,he argues that globalization actually concentrates wealth into fewer and fewer hands.
Sachs,on the other hand,points out that China and India have been able to decrease the poverty in their countries because of the economic opportunities resulting from globalization.Certain cities and sectors in both China and India have benefited from foreign investment and have become economically competitive and successful.
