The
impact of globalization on developing
countries One
thinks of the impact of globalization on developing
countries, is a first, the rapid rise of China, India,
Brazil and other countries in mind. The
impact of globalization on developing countries:
Imagine
again, China was the only country on the planet, all around
there are only deserts and seas. Would such a country
condemned without any neighbors and outside influences to
poverty? Could there be no prosperity there, because even
access from the outside no "growth momentum" and no new
markets could be developed? So
then the transformation of many former developing countries
to emerging and developed nations explained. In China, for
example, the key to success lay in the renunciation of the
communist planned economy and the shift towards a market
economy. This crucial step was accompanied by further
meaningful action. They fought the corruption and nepotism,
the democratization spurred reformed laws and cut
subsidies. Certainly
the opening of the country to the rest of the world growth
forces has released. But a normal world trade without global
tariff reductions would have to speak showed positive
effects. The
impact of globalization on developing countries:
Globalization
has thus only accelerated the rise of some developing
countries. China, for example recorded an annual average
growth of 10% since the 1980th Quite possible that in a
civilized world trade would come out (with appropriate
customs borders), only 8%. Perhaps
by as well as many a misery or some malformation would have
been avoided. In Bangladesh, for example, factory workers
today work, so a good 30 years after the launch of
globalization, for an hourly wage of about 0.20 euros. The
impact of globalization on developing countries:
Relocate
their factories manufacturers to low-wage country, they do
so not determined to help out charity or to underdeveloped
countries. They are concerned only about maximizing
profits! The
blouse is hawked still in the stores of the high-price
countries for 50 euros - the profit margin multiplied,
although consume high additional costs (transportation, long
delivery times, permanent quality control on site,
litigation, defense of piracy, etc.) a portion of the
additional profits again , The
international division of labor productivity charged
additionally so because of the long transport distances,
language barriers, corruption and uncertain legal situations
- only because of the abnormal wage and tax differences for
this goal to considerable additional expense
anyway. Did
the global player it honestly, they had existed from the
outset with its Asian suppliers to a fair remuneration of
employees. Too
bad that reputable brands not guarantee by itself a fair
wage of factory workers in far abroad and certify it
with a label. By
the will of the powerful globalization
lobby,
it may just be no change in the law. The since 1980 existing
conditions (largely duty-free treatment) are just perfect
for their business model. The
impact of globalization on developing countries:
For
all I know, considerations about the rise of developing
countries a very important factor is overlooked: And
this productive progress is not tied to globalization or
coupled. The knowledge of people is increasing constantly
and of course these findings automatically benefit of
mankind. Just
as rapidly to many other areas of production revolutionized.
The size and thus also the amount of work for the production
of a computer, for example, shrank to a minimum. The first
high-performance computers had to be set up in large halls,
today, puts a laptop to stow in spite of thousands of times
higher performance in the briefcase. Summary:
The growing prosperity of many developing countries due in
part to government reforms (fight against corruption,
stabilization of the market economy, improving education and
infrastructure, legal certainty for domestic and foreign
investors, welfare state structure, removal of privileges,
etc.), the other part but on technological
progress. The
impact of globalization on developing countries:
The
average income in the last 30 years in most developed
countries due to globalization fallen. The
majority of developing countries, it still is just as dirty
as three decades ago. This is usually because the old
corrupt power structures have not been eliminated in these
countries that there is still family clans have the final
say, who are interested (in the degradation of their
privileges) hardly to improve the conditions. So
globalization (tariff reduction) was only when reform-minded
governments accomplish something, where it has, at best,
minimal economic growth fueled - and this Plus but was
bought with the exploitation of tens of millions of slave
laborers. The
impact of globalization on developing countries:
Had
it (tariff reduction) not given globalization, many
developing countries have possibly developed
better! The
prosperity in the industrialized countries would have
(without tariff reductions) but almost doubled without
globalization influences! Even
if a part of this growth would be flowed into a general
reduction in working hours (reduction of standard working
time to 30 hours per week), German, French, English,
Americans, Japanese had so today about a higher 50 percent
net income and the most industrialized countries no
national debt. From
this strong position, it would have been easy, the
development assistance to reform-minded Up enforce
countries and create strategically effective overall
concepts. I am firmly convinced that this would get most
developing countries better than the global wage dumping
system. The
impact of globalization on developing countries:
Despite
some successes in recent years, the African continent is
still a big trouble spot. But what the failure of so many
African countries? 1.
At the corruption. 2.
On unbridled population growth.
3.
At the mentality. 4.
At the crime and violence. 5.
The duty-free ruining local economies.
6.
The elites do not return. 7.
The absurd subsidy protectionism is unfair!
8.
gooders reaffirm the African sense of entitlement!
Africa
could go very well! All
these fantastic, prosperity, more innovations, one of which
has also long Africa benefits are not the West fell into my
lap. Our ancestors have worked hard under great hardship.
The life of a worker eropäischen in the 19th century
was probably privation, cruel and demanding than that of the
often lamented the average African in that time. The
impact of globalization on developing
countries: I
just saw an interesting TV documentary about the positive
development in Ethiopia (has about as many inhabitants as
Germany). This country has recognized the signs of the times
and investing in education, road construction, legal
security, the fight against corruption, etc. - with strong
Chinese support. Even
German shoe manufacturers have now discovered this land for
themselves and build there new factories. Unlike Bangladesh
working conditions there are humane and conform to the
European level (40-hour week). Unfortunately, it falls short
of payment - there are only 12 cents an hour paid (20 euros
a month)! Portugal
can not keep up with hourly wages of 12 cents course. The
country is precisely because of these practices in decline
and likely to be rescued with German taxpayers' money or
with subsidized loans (government bonds). As
an aside: Even Ethiopia owes its success to a large dose
of protectionism. The government banned the export of
hand the coveted leather raw material , at the same time it
requires foreign investors to produce exclusively for export
(to the traditional domestic shoe production
alive). The
impact of globalization on developing countries:
Globalization
(tariff reduction) resulted in the global gearing and
deregulation of financial markets. The banks and especially
the shadow banks are now largely uncontrollable and
therefore unmanageable. Under these grievances, of course,
the developing countries, the ever charged impending
collapse of the world financial system as well as their
economies. But
what if it actually comes to disaster? What happens if the
amoral principle of artificial multiplication of money by
central banks collapses and fails the low interest rate
policy?

non-partisan and
independent!
But the question remains, how much shares this ascent are
due to globalization.
Can
a country grow only by external influences?
Of course you could also ascend a country (without world
trade) in such a situation! It all depends only on whether a
country is run by a wise and objective government or
not.
A
high price: the exploitation of cheap labor!
This exploited people know virtually no employment rights
and no social protection (occupational accident, illness,
retirement) and live in miserable accommodation. Can we
call such people as winners of globalization, because they
may only make the luxury clothes for us? Do most
Bengalis not better but lived 40 years ago?
The
advantages of free trade
You know: a blouse that can be produced in Germany for 20
euros could be made in the Far East for five euros. The
advantage arises because you have to pass on to consumers
the low production costs, at least for branded
hardly.
So they had the seamstresses at least an hourly wage of one
euro granted in Bangladesh - instead of the miserable 20
cents, as are common today.
But with a more humane pay the production costs would
naturally rise, shrinking profits. Some outsourcing would
probably hardly worthwhile because, after all, also incurred
transport costs and higher costs for quality
control.
Also that Western "social" Governments do pity no move to
adopt appropriate legislation. Rather they are wasting tens
of billions of euros each year on ineffective development
aid and debt relief, as to insist on the maintenance of a
fair minimum wage for all imports.
The
productive progress is ignored!
the
enormous power of the productive progress!
150 years ago, yet every second employee had to work in
agriculture to ensure food security of the population in
Germany. Today, this employment figure is less than 2
percent.
a
large part of humanity today is worse than it was 30 years
ago!
How
would stand the erstwhile developing countries without
globalization?
How
fails Africa?
Corruption and favoritism seems to me the main evil of
African cultures. Incompetent governments stick to the power
and embezzle government revenue. According to African
tradition, they see it as their duty, even unqualified
friends and family members to accommodate the civil service.
Thus, a gigantic water head forms. In some places, there are
ten times more "minister" and officials as necessary.
Birth control is an alien concept in many parts of Africa.
The population of Africa has increased eightfold in the last
100 years, for the next 100 years, a further quadrupling is
expected. However, many Africans can not even feed itself
already today. Trusting in God and the help of Europe (two
out of three Africans see their future in Europe) is a
responsible family planning firmly rejected.
Many Africans feel good in the eternal victimhood. After
their perception Africa is being exploited for centuries.
First it was Arabic, later American slave traders, then came
the colonial period and today it is the capitalism of
whites.
At the same time many Africans meritocracy is away. Has the
neighbor more than you do, then there is not about to his
skill or diligence - the neighbor has obviously better
spirits or witches. Still, each year killed thousands of
"witches" in Africa.
Brutal warlords can not settle the black continent. In the
Congo alone to fight each other 70 different rebel groups.
Many states are too weak to curb the rampant violence and
lawlessness.
Cheap Asian textiles flooding the African market and ruin
local manufacturers and Schneider. Imported foods make
domestic farmers and ranchers a hard time, subsidized cotton
from the United States ousted the domestic production,
foreign trawlers (which generously fishing rights were sold
off) make local fishermen out of work. Africa would have to
protect over duties from the worst dumping imports. That
conclusion is contrary to the global free trade delusions.
Africa also has many smart people who have been trained at
the universities (especially abroad). But this valuable
human capital is largely lost the continent because Africa
is not attractive for the elite and the educated academics
rarely return to their home countries.
The honest customs protectionism by politicians and the
press condemned as the devil's work that really shameful
subsidy protectionism against it deemed necessary.
Agriculture, for example, funded annually with about 350
billion euros which is
totally unnecessary and
counterproductive
(it undermines all market principles). Under this abstruse
subsidy policy and developing countries are
suffering.
If ever in the Western media from the exploitation of
Africa's speech, you do not have to wonder if more and
more Africans feel confirmed in their victimhood. They
see it as their right to emigrate to Europe.
The media stir with their heartbreaking misery reports an
entitlement mentality that is contrary to the construction
and modernization of Africa. The African citizens is de
facto relieved of his responsibilities - the West is to
blame and should it judge.
Here are the biggest problems homemade (population
explosion, corruption, free of duty, widespread violence,
lack of wrongdoing, religious fanaticism,
fatalism).
Africa
benefited, like all underdeveloped continents and countries,
largely on the pioneering inventions and scientific
achievements of so often maligned West.
In many areas they can more expensive stages of development
loosely skip generations. You do not, for example only tens
of billions of euros to invest in a stationary electricity
or telephone network, they may be the same use highly
efficient solar systems and versatile smartphones. Have
almost for free the results of our 200th research in
medicine and agriculture available, etc., etc. - all this is
hardly respected.
Is poised to have swallowed some trillion euros (investment
in the future that have mainly shouldered Western societies)
only the rocky road from the telegraph to the
smartphone.
The modernization of Africa (the z. B. Germany at that time
cost a lot of money and human lives) in the colonies failed
once not only the resistance of the people and their old
traditions, they also failed to a lack of (hated) work
discipline.
Hope
for Africa: Shoe factories in Ethiopia
Why so stingy? Why does a renowned global players
exploiting the plight of other so and only pay the
"usual local" set?
Incidentally, the dark side of globalization is also evident
in this example again: The structure of the shoe
factories in Ethiopia was followed by the closure of plants
in Portugal.
In the end, we support with our donations the global wage
dumping system that has extremely negative impact on our
earnings, but
the prices of many imported goods hardly
lowers
(but especially the returns of global players
increased).
Developing
countries also suffer from the global financial
system!
When there were the gold standard (up to 1971), one could
exchange his dollars in gold (for $ 35 per ounce). But today
this guarantee is no longer valid, so the money supply may
increase beyond all bounds. The value of money is based on
trust today only - there is no coverage.
There is no equality of opportunity - even when it comes to
forming opinions. While the capital (corporations,
speculators, lobbyists, media, governments) can afford the
best translators, I have to settle for a simple language
program for financial reasons. I hope, however, that the
text is nevertheless reasonably understandable and that no
major mistakes have occurred. Thank you for your
understanding.
In
Germany wages have been falling since 1980.
Why?
Germany:
The brazen proclamation of skills
shortage!
Globalization:
the ignorance of the facts
The
fairy tale of the international division of
labor
Brainwashing:
"We want an open Europe!"
The
political and economic consequences of an
brexit
An
analytical consideration from German
