Description:
We hear phrases like "thinking globally" and "the global economy" all the time, as if we live in one interconnected world where national borders are irrelevant. But what does globalization really mean? In 2001, John Pilger's film *The New Rulers of the World* examines its effects, using Indonesia as a key example. The World Bank once praised Indonesia's economy as a success, but it collapsed in 1998 after embracing globalization. Globalization has shrunk the world and made countries increasingly reliant on each other. An investment in London can cause job losses in Indonesia, while a business decision in Tokyo can create jobs in England.
