Globalization according to my Uncle
This is what my uncle whos in Florida right now has to say about Globalization
Globalisation has been overhyped as the 'zinda tilismath'* for all the economic ailments of the world. While it has generated more money, more fun, the game is open only to a select few. May be I have told you that the world in coming days will have three kinds of people: entrepreneurs, extortionists and rag-pickers! The cities will become blackholes, gobbling up the rural resources and each one of us will sweat our soul out to appease the mammon! May be, I sound like a grouch, but these are my fears!
* - "zinda tilismath" is a potion in Greek Medicine [or "Unani" Medicine as its called in India]. Its used as a cure for virtually everything from Common Cold to you-name-it
