Alan Blinder
predicts the future of globalization -- think less Tom Friedman, more
Neal Stephenson. It's interesting that, for all the controversy his remarks have aroused, he never actually repudiates
laissez-faire globalization, he just recognizes that the costs are much greater than advertised. So it's hard for me to see just is so terrible about what Blinder is saying, at least from a neoclassical economist's perspective,
creative destruction and all that.
