A fairer distribution of the benefits of globalization

> To Mario Jose de Lima;
> Answering my argument that a well-regulated and supervised globalization MUST
> be beneficial for both sides, you said (excuse me if I use somewhat clearer
> English expressions):
>
> “This type of argument is proper of the bourgeois economists. For them any
> difficulty for their theories, is the result of the interference of strange
> forces in the functioning of the economy. Almost always they blame the State.
> On the other hand, if you do not agree, that perverse results for the
> peripheral countries from international relations are possible, you must, from
> your side, demonstrate that core countries do not exert a hegemonic position
> in diverse dimensions”
>
> All this is completely beside the point. You mainly refer to poor results of
> the present practices of globalization and to the excesses of the neoliberal
> economy (which I never defended), but so far have NOT EVEN TRIED to disprove
> my argument, that using each country’s comparative advantages correctly, is
> beneficial for BOTH sides.
> Neither have you presented any concrete objection to my proposals for a better
> distribution of the benefits of globalization.

> Trying to prove, that globalization NEVER benefits any developing country, you

> “You demand examples and they do not lack. Brazil possesses the ninth or
> eighth industrial economy of the world. However, the participation of this
> country in the world’s commerce is about two percent or less. Excellent
> results, not?”

> This only shows, that Brazil concentrates its production on satisfying its
> internal demand, which is probably a quite effective strategy. Nevertheless
> Brazil DOES also make good use of its comparative advantages:
> For example almost all of the many thousand long distance buses that circulate
> in Chile and a significant % of heavy trucks are imported from Brazil, in
> spite of competition from the US and other industrialized countries.
