ï More Efficient Market : The sign of an efficient market is where there is an
equilibrium between what buyers are willing to pay for a good or service and
what sellers are willing to sell for a good .
ï Increase in Competition : With more competitors to fight over market
share, each company has to constantly look to improve their goods or services
or create more value for their customers.
This means better products and sometimes lower prices, which is always a
good thing for buyers.
ï Stabilized Security : Globalization has halted many conflicts that
could have turned ugly if their countryâs financial health didnât depend
on the other.
ï More wealth equality throughout the world : Globalization may
have stopped you from buying another flat screen TV, but it also
helped countless people in developing countries put food on their table
for their families.
11. Negative Aspects of Globalization
ï Globalization uses up finite resources more quickly : Due to use of
finite natural resources World will be facing the problem of Global Warming &
various environmental issues.
ï Globalization increases world carbon dioxide emissions : It is due
to easy availability of goods emitting CFCâs .
ï With the dollar as the worldâs reserve currency, globalization leads
to huge US balance of trade deficits and other imbalances :
Example is the latest one with Rupees .
ï Globalization tends to move taxation away from corporations, and
onto individual : It is due to industries that contribute more in GDP .
Government somewhere gives them concessions . But at the same time taxes
are collected more from the common people .

Environment will lead to sustainable growth.
