It's odd that the quotation regards Ms. Barlow as a champion of citizen's rights while at the same time she is a director of an anti-globalism institution. I guess citizens have rights as long as it doesn't involve buying foreign made goods.

Perhaps Ms. Barlow would rather we revert back to the standard of living in 1500 when the average family lived just a bit above subsistence (p 72 from Arnold Kling's "Learning Economics").

I happened to be receiving an Education degree the day that maud barlow was the convocation speaker, and have since begun to read some of her books and think about some of the causes she is invoved with. While i don't presume to understand the complicated economic issues, i can see that maude barlow is only trying to get make the citizens of canada pay attention to the total sellout of the government to corporations. What will be the effect of globalization in the end? more money for the people who need it the least, and less for the people who need it the most

Julie, I am slightly confused. Are you saying that you know the effects of globalization, while not understanding the economic issues?
