About 50% of the earnings from the S&P 500 (the top 500 US corporations) are from over seas. It goes up every year.
The answer is no, short of a global catastrophe that takes us back to the dark ages. |

The price of oil will reveres Globalisation, Goods will have to manufactured or produced locally as the cost of shipping is making it just as expensive. |

Well, first you need to realize that having a starbucks on every corner and street is not globalization. Before you ask the question you should check out the world bank website and their presentations to get a better idea of what globalization is...
In most countries other than your most modern western cultures, globalization relies on transparency of government / function, equal distribution of wealth, etc... (big reason why many countries such as Cuba and China until recently have had problems picking up globalization. However, as we all know countries such as China have relied on the United States globalizing them aka giving them all our manufacturing jobs and out sourcing major services. Ever notice if you call customer support you are really calling India with some person told to give you an American name such as Jane Smith?
Now this is my opinion, but we have notice at least with the current economic conditions that we must reverse globalization of we will continue to witness stagflation on almost as rampant a rate as pre- WW2 Germany.
We reverse this by manufacturing goods and ultimately exporting more than we import (which is basically how globalization runs in America due to our starch transparency in business and government). We also reverse globalization by searching for new technologies to better our country as a society and possibly open up new markets for such given technologies.
If you understand the meaning of globalization than you will definitely understand where I am coming from. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I can answer. I wrote my senior college thesis on Globalization and Markets. |

yes, it could be reversed if infrastructure (transportation, highways, banking, internet, phones, money transfer, shipping etc.) fell apart then we would have to depend on the local. globalization is very dependent on transportation and communication infrastructure. |

Globalisation stands a good chance of ending fairly soon if transport becomes extremely expensive. |

Yes it is not too late but it would take a great deal of effort and an isolationist president to get the job done-like Ron Paul.We need to bring ALL our manufacturing jobs and industry back and become energy independant.I'm all for doing business with the world to make money but we need to be insulated from wars and natural calamities in other parts of the world. |

nothing last forever. All the big corporate's are declining as we speak, people are starting to recognise quality overrides quantity.
I doubt it will be totally reversible though! Inidividual business will never be able to beat the prices that corporate giants generate! |

It certainly can be reversed in a great number of ways, but people should be very careful if they want to intervene: it's just like changing an ecosystem - you substitute for one component and the whole system dies. Sociology is as complicated as Ecology. |

One thing I learned from years of just observation is that you can't take any trend and make a linear projection to predict the future. For example many hard working families believed that real estate would go up 3 to 7 per cent a year forever. I don't believe that China's economy will grow 10% per year or that oil will go up forever. Watch for the ebb and flow of history and don't buy the trend.
Globalization has been a major trend for at least 20 years. It will peak and then decline and a new trend will take over. It could be that whatever replaces globalization will be less a less attractive option, but we can hope it will be an improvement.
In the mean time, why go to Starbuck's? I recall we use to go to the one of the original Starbucks on a corner somewhere in downtown Seattle in the early 80's. Then it was a great, now it has no soul. |

The only way to reverse it is to stop capitalism and get the government involved in the economy. The way capitalism works is that although one business may get too large, another will take it over as the leader. |

It will get lots worse before it gets better. The manufacturing jobs will come back to the USA when our standard of living and wages are lower than the teeming citizens of China and India.
As the depression settles in, companies like Starbucks will disappear from the USA. Who wants to spend 5 bucks for a cup of coffee?
Global competition for scarce resources (Oil, copper, vanadium, rhodium, manganese, chloride, uranium, ...) will
mean the USA has to largely "do without". |

Not fully but with the raise in oil prices many business are going local in order to avoid shipping costs and other costs linked to high gas prices. |

Globalization is reversible for sure. It's called war! Anyone who has done their homework knows that before each of the last 2 world wars there was a major rise in inflation & a major rise in population. This planet is nearing 6.8 billion people & food riots are already taking place. It sounds like people will have to fend for themselves without big business being there to put dinner in front of them. Nerves are being further strained to their threshold point with every passing day. It won't be long before "keeping up with the Jones'" won't be worth a damn. Rich or poor, the main focus will be the ability to be eating every day. So much for McYuk Yuk's & Starbucks' then. They'll be the the topic of discussion when the question "Do you remember when" comes up. |

I have never heard any serious economist seek a reversal of the globalization of the world economy. There is no rational reason to reverse a working economic model that fits the information age of the 21st century. How could you ever sell a $60,000.00 Chevy if Detroit was to be restored? The toothpaste is out of the tube. |

Globalization is workable and will ultimately be a good thing when people overthrow their governments! let anarchy reign!!!! |

On every street corner a Starbucks? They would like to think so.
You are just talking retail. It's much deeper and more insidious than you can imagine. |

Globalization is really national governments and federations losing control to corporate empires.
Now these national governments are likely to want to put their hand in and influence what is happening in a much more direct way. That is the meaning of reversing globalism.
Can it happen and will it of course are separate questions. Malaysia had demonstrated a significant national benefit if taking a lot of control back from the corporate world, and China is facing a lot of internal pressure to retain a lot of control over corporations.
Keeping control of corporations is not communism, so much as nationalism. Governments do prefer to do a bit of trust busting of their own now and then. If corporations appear to be foreigners ruling the country it is easy for opposition groups to raise nationalist sentiment and take back control of the corporations, or force them to become national corporations, subject to national rules only.
We can predict that such moves will be disastrous, but failure to make them can also topple governments. The problem then may be best averted when corporations carefully avoid the impression that they are strictly governed by the profit motives of their foreign owners.
Telling the truth, and acting like spoiled children is likely to force governments to dissolve the international ties of the corporations. It will be break the corporation or be broken by nationalism. |

It's somewhat akin to a snowball rolling down a snowy slope. It's picking up more and more as it travels....and gets more and more difficult to stop.
Globalization is something that was masterminded in boardrooms decades ago. A masterful plan which put the entire globe in the hands of corporations worldwide. |

I hope so, I think it just creates corporate greed. |

sure it is reversible...but it wont change....if we all did our part such as buying free trade coffee for example or making wiser choices in our daily life it could help a little.......but the truth is big corporation will never care about individual men and stomp on everything and everyone in this world all in the name of profit .
example see this video below...globalization at its finest! |

It would mean a war or movement would have to make haste and cause a bit of peaceful trouble.
But you can't revolutionise anything now, because you'd be labelled a terrorist and ousted and portrayed by the media as some super evil witchcraft/terror organisation or movement that will destroy all innocent people; those on their ways to work to do their brainwashed 9-5 jobs until they die of old age or on some cocktail of antidepressant 'lovingly' dished out by their loving GP who supports his loving pharmaceutical giants who aid his income.
Is it impossible now? The super elite and the brainwashing media are as one strong impenetrable unit. An impossible army to conquer and break? They have the gullible sheep out there glued to their Yellow Journalistic advice.
We'd need some clever old sparks to crack this one!
The whole terrorist theatre was dreamt up by similar minds to the one I was given. Create stories of fictional characters who blow things up and cause terror. They can then use these fictional and planned events to implement laws that suppress people further form their freedoms of speech.
The very same fascist laws our grandfathers fought against in their 'youthful daze' as soldiers/children.
We need to root out the problem. That is bad and ill education.
The sooner the better! |

I know what you mean. I live in a small town. Like really small!! They already have a McDonalds and a new Subway. Now they're thinking of Starbucks. This just rises the population of our small town which is NOT what I want it to do. We picked out this town because of its size and attitude and it will all change if big chain stores come in. My advice sue them for something that they arnt expecting!!! lol or have a potition |
