“People in the rich countries who have done very well, who are at the top of the income pyramid, try to steamroll over the opposition of the middle without changing anything in social programs, or any redistribution.

And the globalization would continue, but it would continue with permanent dissatisfaction among large segments of the people.” PeopleTryingCountryDoneRichProgramVoteGlobalizationRich PeopleDissatisfaction Author:Branko Milanovic
“While you can say that the problem of the middle class in the rich countries is too much globalization, the problem of the people who are very poor is really that they are not included in globalization. For them, the success of their own countries at becoming part of this international division of labor would be good news.” PeopleCountryProblemPoorRichLaborBe GoodMiddle ClassGlobalization Author:Branko Milanovic
