Globalization

Former national economies become one global economy as barriers to trade are slowly eliminated. This includes the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) signed into law by President Clinton in 1993, which aimed to increase trade between the US, Mexico, and Canada by eliminating tariffs and quotas. Globalization has been a controversial topic with various opinions on its impact, including its effects on jobs, innovation, and multinational corporations. This article examines the benefits and costs of globalization and how it affects people differently.
