Overall summaryGlobalisation is caused by many factors including falls in trasport and communication costs, lowering of trade barriers, and changes in political stances. It has advantages including free trade and comparative advantage which usually leads to increased world output and better living standards, lower prices and more choice for consumers, and lower costs of production for producers. It does, however, have its disadvantages including the exploitation of workers and differences in health regulations, externalities such as environmental degredation, and global instability as a result of too much liberalisation; both financially and fiscally. |
