Over the past few decades, more and more countries have opened up the markets, increasingly

41   the world economy into one free-flowing global market. The question is: Is economic globalization   42   for all?

According to the World Bank, one of its chief supporters, economic globalization has helped reduce   43   in a large number of developing countries. It quotes one study that shows increased wealth   44   to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries as a result of integration (融合) of local economies into the world economy. Home to   45   three billion people, these twenty-four countries have seen incomes   46   at an average rate of five percent

47   to two percent in developed countries.

Those who   48   globalization claim that economies in developing countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses.   49  , small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in   50   open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet.

Critics take a different view, believing that economic globalization is actually   51   the gap between the rich and poor. A study   52   by the UN-sponsored World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually   53   from integration into the world economy and that the poor, the uneducated, unskilled workers, and native peoples have been left behind.   54  , they maintain that globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses. For example, Indian craftsmen who currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to   55   their products may soon face fierce competition that could pot them out of   56  . When large-scale manufacturers start to produce the same goods, or when superstores like Wal-Mart   57  , these small businesses will not be able to   58   and will be crowded out.

One thing is certain about globalization—there is no   59  . Advances in technology combined with more open policies have already created an interconnected world. The   60   now is finding a way to create a kind of globalization that works for the benefit of all.
