Lesson 22
ONE GLOBE: MANY WORLDS
Text of the handout for students
Note: This is the first lecture in the course that outlines the concept of a single, shared global framework
for humanity which is at the same time split into different levels and categories of development. In one
sense, this lecture is an introduction to the concept of globalization which is a historic process that has
entered a new phase in the 20th and 21st centuries.
There is abundant criticism and fear of globalization, some of it justified, and a lot of it not so. To enable
students to note and review some very credible perspectives which place globalization on a realistic and
balanced plane, the text of this handout is excerpted from the first chapter of a book titled: "Open World:/
The truth about globalization" by Phillippe Legrain, published by Abacus in Great Britain in 2003.
Students are advised to, if they so wish, explore information on the book and the author by using the Google
search engine on the Internet. One indication of the high praise with which this book was received is a
comment made by Martin Wolf in the Financial Times, London who said, "We have waited a long time. But
at last a good book on globalization has appeared......This is a wonderfully lucid and intelligent book.
Phillippe Legrain takes on the many mistakes of the anti-globalizer."
The author of the book is Chief Economist of Britain in Europe. He was previously Special Adviser to the
Director-General of the World Trade Organization.
