Supplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore ReadingUnit 4 Globalization Although Browder and Mandl define their nationality differently, both see their identity as a matter of personal choice, not an accident of birth.
47、 And not incidentally, both are Davos Men, members of the international business lite who trek each year to the Swiss Alpine town for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, founded in 1971.

Whatever their considerable differences, most Davos Men and Women share at least one belief: that globalization, the unimpeded flows of capital, labor and technology across

No wonder so many Western workers worry about losing their jobs. “If the issue is the size of the total pie, globalization has proved a good thing,” says Orit Gadiesh, chairman of consultants Bain & Co. “If the issue is how the pie is divided, if youre in the Western
