“Globalization is on its deathbed,” says economist Mike O’Sullivan. The question now is: What’s next? Tracing the historical successes and failures of globalization, O’Sullivan forecasts a new world order where countries come together over shared values rather than geography. Learn how big regional powers like the United States and China will be driven by distinct ways of governing trade, technology and people — while smaller nations will forge new alliances to solve problems.

Sad to heard such thinking on globalization especially on TED. Developing country will go full force ahead with globalization as we know it. We all could see the hope and future of globalization.
But developed country like Europe and USA, which no longer have the control to dictate term, are afraid to compete.
So let’s see 3 decades in future, which country will be left behind.

‘At the end of globalization’.
Brexit is still having trouble materializing to its full potential.
Most of the western world is under lockdown.
People are forced to ‘collaborate’ through video conferencing around the world.
Social media has managed to have a greater impact on society than before, so many idiot millenial/zoomers becoming ‘content creators’ (usless non contribution contribution to the economy and society).
‘Anti covid vaccines’ being made on different continents, ‘rushed through’ all because less than 1% of the worlds population has been affected.
Very little to zero pushback from millenial/zoomers and their baby boomer enablers against wearing masks OUTSIDE in the FRESH AIR!
As usual TED ‘Talks’ is completely out of touch with reality, some idiot baby boomer (or dare I say a Gen Xer?) is there to loudly proclaim their imagined genius.
Thats about the *only* thing TED ‘Talks’ is good for, if this were a performing art TED ‘Talks’ would be a pantomime, acting out things that are meant to evoke laughter to anyone who has even a small clue.
‘Free and fair elections.’ I have trouble believing that is actually a benefit.
This obsession with ‘free and fair elections’ is a farce on its face and almost impossible just because the whole concept of ‘elections’ are a man made concept and man is inherently flawed.
‘The bounties of globalization through higher taxes and social welfare programs.’
If you need social welfare programs wouldnt that be proof that globalization has actually failed you?
Isnt the whole point of ‘globalization’ to actually *improve peoples lives through commerce*????
If a government program has to be created to *intervene* in society in order to perform a service to help *prevent* destructive patterns wouldnt that be an indicator that globalization has not done what it was intended to do???
What kind of a fool does this fool think people who are within earshot of him think we are?
The fact that this guy suggests that globalization improves peoples lives through social welfare programs and higher taxes is by definition a failure of globalization.
He sounds like a baby boomer through and through, perpetuating dellusional idiotic ignorant anti-capitalist bullshit.
Just fucking sickening to listen to.
Clearly this TED ‘Talk’ is aimed at the greater population which are low iq high functioning lazy idiots who have no clue.
That is unfortunately the greater part of the world, just lazy low IQ high functioning morons who need a dellusional idiot like the guy in this video to tell them that ‘he has the magic potion to solve their lack of direction in life.’

it may be the end of globalization for US but not for other countries. China and EU just conclude a BIA. ASEAN just inked a trade pact with ASEAN+ China, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, nd South Korea.
Globalization worked for US multinationals all too well, its benefits never trickled down to the 99%.

Interesting point of view regarding the global context. The only one fact that maybe is missing is the constant socialism (communism for us) tendency in Latin America, taking day by day more influence in the world’s panorama. This controversial political and social movement is not building, it is destroying values and corrupting the society of the region. The Latin America links with Russia and China are developing an uncertain future for the economic, social and political aspects of the countries involve. That idiology duality that some countries have, or the unmovable dictators power will be an element to follow, analyze and take actions because it’s not giving a hope sensation in a short term.

During the reign of the Roman Empire, there was already a negative trade balance with the east. (“The eastern iron trade of the Roman empire”, Shoff). Iron/steel to create weapons, silk, incense,… history repeating itself, except that the Romans couldn’t copy what was imported. Globalisation is not the problem… short sighted capitalist gains are. Even at the end of the British Empire, wars were started because of this (England’s opium wars), again, the British could not just copy what they imported. Rather, this departure from “globalisation” as we know it, feels like a protectionist approach to a situation that cannot be fully controlled anymore. Thanks for explaining your take on the subject, using just a slightly patronizing tone 😅

There is a danger that I have not heard anyone talking regarding the China model, and that is the enormous power of control that technology will give to an authoritarian government and how that could make it near impossible to topple that government. With that kind of power that is nearly impossible to challenge, the extent that such power will corrupt a government will break new grounds. It could over time split up people into very two distinct, non-overlapping groups of the those who control and those who are controlled. In other words, we could end up in a society of masters and serfs that could persist indefinitely perhaps, but certainly for a very, very long time.

A white British like man missing the old European Empire… This is what this video is 🙄 what China is doing in the rest of the world is what the USA and Europeans did before. Inserting a concept like “they think with their own set of values” is the open door to differenciation and alienation. At the dawn of humanity great expanse into our solar system this is a Bad Idea! We should talk about what we have in common despite our differences, embrace what makes us human, acknowledge our flaws and weaknesses, find new ways to work around it but do it together.
Globalization is “only” a word, a concept in our head. Let’s imagine a plural world order where we respect each other but still work together.

I don’t think chaos is going to reign. It’s just a development that started off right after the end of WW2 and the end of the colonial empires. Remember the organization of the independent block countries? Literally, all of them are now the boom nations: India, China, Indonesia, the African countries, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina. So in a way, the cold war was just an intermezzo.

Democracy works fine in countries like Iceland where the population is small and highly educated. But in some other countries where a considerable proportion of the whole population aren’t even able to make proper life decisions like using drugs, becoming a gangster, playing with heavy weaponry or overspending in their 20s, discriminating against colored race, exploiting their color for advantages. I wouldn’t put a vote of full faith in their hands.

I find it good progress in starting to think that maybe, possibly, it might be doable to accept that the values of others could be equal to those of the “west” side of the globe. And that it is the right of each state to choose what values to hold to, and “which path” to choose. Could not hear enough of India’s progress (big enough part of the planet), also nothing about west parts of South America (lots of changes happen there as well). But finally – good start of mind-opening 😉

There is always a “new world order”, however, he is right about globalization being over. The globalized economy cannot survive climate change. The first major symptom of climate trouble is the pandemic and it took the whole thing down in a matter of months. It is only going to get worse so localization and self-reliant communities are going to be a necessity.

Enjoyed that. I have always felt that “Values” and the concept of “Shared Values” is the key issue underpinning so many of our current challenges and opportunities. It is an excellent model for discussing issues from economics to racism to immigration. But as Mike said, most of us (individuals and nations) have not defined/articulated what we actually believe in/ stand for and so thrash around with no clear foundation for policy and strategy.

Corruption in the south of the plane by false democratic regimes and outright dictatorship, in which European countries continue to take part is also a factor that made the end of globalization palatable to many of us.

As governments & politicians wrestle with the Covid recession, rising unemployment & underemployment, stagnant wages, increasing income inequality, increasing bankruptcies & evictions & homelessness, disrupted supply chains, and the realization that too much international supply chain dependency can have disastrous consequences, it is clear that some things have to change in order to resume more normal conditions but not perpetuate the revealed weaknesses of excessive globalization for individual nation states.
Small countries realize that they need profitable interactions with larger, more powerful nations but also need to protect their domestic markets from non-level international economic markets & mega competitors. They also have to keep one eye on growing economic, political, and military powers that have the potential to dominate their geographic region. Alliances are the only way that the little guys can band together in collective defense against the bigger guys – usually by pretending either a vague neutrality or sheltering under the umbrella of the current superpower that offers the best terms. (Tiny, island countries like those mentioned in the video have smaller, simpler, national problems to wrestle with and, therefore, more degrees of freedom to experiment with more enlightened, human-scale values like “well-being”.)
The rise of populism is simply the workers in different parts of the world waking up to the necessity of involvement in national politics, lest powerful globalized economic interests influence national policy to their detriment. Unfortunately, the workers often only understand sympathetic political rhetoric and not the complexity behind policies that will actually yield favorable results. This means that clever demagogues, emerging from the financial & corporate business markets, will likely have undue influence over the masses via social media for years to come. (Shared values may well get lip service, but money, power and competitive advantage will be the real operating principles. Diverse groups are all competing for control of essential resources, including the power to corner markets, impose taxes, and lend or even print money.)
It’s like Silicon Valley disruptive business models are being adopted by necessity in almost every hypercompetitive socioeconomic/political system. Anybody heard from Jack Ma lately? How much disruptive damage have Google, Facebook and Amazon done to brick & mortar retailers, American manufacturers and even democratic values themselves? Humanity is at war with more than a pandemic virus – we are at war with each other…

So in sum the argument is:
capitalism driven American globalism is proven fragile. Globalism in reality or in the state of affairs are seen nations cooperating and relating with others with shared value systems. Therefore, America should rethink globalism. Set aside capitalism that is proven fragile and embark on building new value systems.
Am I following him right?
If so several questions rise all in curiosity:
1) isnt capitalism itself another value system as well?
2) does he think that ours is more pathological more so than other value systems that it needs to be thrown out? are there good evidence that other value systems are by nature less condescending towards others. If so which value systems? Wish to study them.
3) are other value systems proven more robust at the pragmatical level and lasting? Again, Which systems?
4) couldnt it be that the problem is not in value systems itself but in ways in which they were managed? If the replaced system is as poorly managed the result would be equally devastating?
Wish he could have given more time to address to some of these central questions…

Well.. Since we are connecting dots here and sparking conversations and ideas worth spreading, I’ll toss in this one; The Psychedellic people of the 60’s tried to stop the Vietnam war, and then in 66′ “drugs” was basically banned everywhere, and the war happened anyway.
Just my two cents…

I am not against globalization but against this model of globalization, because is based in to main points producing where the labor cost are lower and where the enviroment normatives are very reduce or even nule. This model of globalization meant 3 last decades of western economic decline as well as an enormous climate disaster.

Vacuous and outdated. Now that slavery, colonialism and global capitalist exploitation have run into deep troubles one by one, it’s time to talk about “values”. If the speaker had given examples of how the old Western powers could learn about values from for example Bolivia, that could have been more interesting. It’s also astounding that there is not a single word about how this sort of “value-oriented” systems could handle global warming. Such willful blindness.

The success of globalization was built on the broken backs of 3rd world slavery , their lives are not better their work has just been given a monetary value , where as their previous occupations weren’t given a value so you can’t compare . I bet more people are being born into poverty than are being pulled out .

Equality is just another word for communism. You don’t want it. Proof positive it doesn’t work is that every nation that has tried it had to murder millions of dissenters. Even in communism you have an hierarchy of power where there certainly is no equality. A free and open market without much government is the only truly equal system possible. Focus on equal justice and equal opportunity. Then let the market sort it out.

Globalization has had a big environmental impact too. If you’re an environmentalist then globalization is bad. If you want diversity then globalization is eroding that too. It is not black or white but I remember arguing with my university professor in the 90’s about it. Why make things cheaper overseas? Isn’t that just some type of ‘slave labor’, and who benefits? Those who do NOT benefit are the consumer and the environment. CEOs, and corrupt politicians seem to do Okay. A bit of bias in the material presented too.

Well he states that globalization brought wealth inequalities to a small degree but at what cost big taxes and others. That what The Nordic countries doing and it had been exposed as they are getting wealth from their oil operations and high taxes. Such that and it brought some problem with it which I forgot. This problem of capitalist as if the business man is PURE CASH is not true. It consist of papaer money like factories with equipments, shares of stock, bonds, airplanes use in commerce or private , ships, and many others. They do not have much CASH in possession. If we let government control the profit of oil production and distribute among the citizan that would be good. It is good till oil prize is high but it went down now we got a problem. So the government need to increase tax on businesses of what is left after they left for abroad. Those who are left will sell their companies because of high taxation to foreigners. The only hope is millions of tourist willing to spend large amount money to their countries.Both sides have its own pros and cons so guess we must choice the least unviable method to survivi.

Talking about basic European values: it is the EU and UN who promotes and implements the immigration agenda of opening up the borders for the hordes of Mohammed (primarily), who’s basic values in general are in diametrically opposition to basic Western (and European) values. EU has to a large degree followed up former UN Migration Chief Peter Sutherland’s official request that “EU Should ‘Undermine National Homogeneity’ (of the indigenous population of Europe). To then come and say that EU is the upholder of basic European values is hypocrisy and nonsense of first degree.
Basic European values is NOT based on Marxist ideology of the Frankfurt School adapted to the NWO agenda – although some neo-Marxist “besserwisser” might think so.
And, claiming EU to be the upholder of basic values as democracy – against Poland and Hungary – is claptrap balderdash. It is Poland and Hungary who protects basic European values by protecting their cultures against alien mass-intrusion. EU is not a democratic institution, it is a undemocratic political correct club – more like a politburo or the mafia, and should not throw stones sitting in a glass house. The Lisbon treaty process clearly demonstrated the undemocratic EU: when the referendum didn’t suit their political scheme; then came the threats and the ultimatum to hold a new referendum … until it’s results suits the EU dictatorships wishes.
Blackmailing nations to follow EU’s and UN’s migration agenda is far from democracy, it’s dictatorship in it’s purest form.
Now that the EU have lost UK – a significant member-nation – because of their political tyranny, and have made a huge trade deal with the fascist regime of China, they have really put their hypocrisy on display. Globalism is a failed ideology, and the pandemic has highlighted the importance of nation states controlling their own borders and being independent.
The EU does tree thing quite efficiently: they control people, they delude people, they divide people.
In the long run Europe would be a lot better off without 🇪🇺 🔨

I did not like Mike O’Sullivan speech. Certainly, he did one firm and clear statement about the end da globalization, one central point at this pandemic moment. However, many authors did this anticipation years ago (including me). Therefore, is not a new conclusion. On the contrary, it was obvious at least in the skeptic field of social sciences, geopolitics, and International Relations. Mike O’Sullivan may be is a good economist, but only a good economist. Mike O’Sullivam addressed some economical features, but his speech was unbelievably superficial chiefly when this subject demanded much further information, no-econometric mulls, and mainly, a conceptual model more suitable, including one approach about globalization process contradictions (centered in the history, geography, and in the cultural-environmental field). What do we may observe in this video? First: many statements that don’t tie together, a consequence of lack conceptual matrix; Second: globalization is basically seen how an economical perform (by the way, Mike O’Sullivan did not speak that this economy proper is always for the benefit of the wealthy and the superpowers), a vision absolutely wrong and no-suitable; Third: Someone may say to me which is the O’Sullivan conclusion? He spoke about values and alliances, but how this assessment lies from a methodological point of view? O’Sullivan speech is, in the same way, purely an abstraction! Will the sky inform us about these values? And its social materialization, how is it happens? Brussels will say to us? In short: O’Sullivan should restrain himself to an economy and besides, when to argue about the economy, to remember that economy is not only about countries economic ranking or geopolitical computer game. If you want to know what will happen next, please, read Milton Santos, Orwell, Mark Lynas, Abraham Moles, Huxley, or Raymond Aron, but not hear O’Sullivan.

Globalization is not the culprit behind rust belt and job losses in other countries. Shareholder capitalism which focuses on profit maximization at the expense of labor is the problem. USA got 13 billions and China got 11 billions after China’s accession to WTO.
China and Germany protected their manufacturing jobs, raised the quality and salary of workforce. China and Germany follow stakeholder capitalism where he maximizes wealth.

Or are you saying that the NATO should maintain it’s ally because they had same common enemy : China – Political, Military, Economy, and Technology.
And also The Rising Sun from the “Equator Country” that slip out hand of the “World Order”
