　　One World, One Economy The trends toward globalization began in earnest in the 1970s when the system of fixed exchange rates, set up after WW II, was disrupted. This meant that the value of currencies would now be determined by the markets instead of individual governments. Over the next two decades, countries slowly began to remove their exchange controls. By 1990, nearly all major economies had got rid of restrictions on how much money could be moved in and out their countries. Other factors contributing to the rise of globalization are new communications technologies, and better transportation systems. These have enabled companies to grow into multinationals -- producing goods on one side of the planet and selling them on the other. Lower costs have also helped -- the price of telephone calls, for instance, is cheaper now than at any time in history. But adjusting to this "economic order" is proving difficult. In the developed world globalization is facing widespread public resistance. Critics complain that, without the protection of trade barriers, jobs are being lost to workers in poorer countries, and wages for employees in rich counties are stagnant, except for a privileged few. Opponents of globalization also point to its effects on the workers in poorer countries. They agree that multinationals may be helping to reduce unemployment in the developing world, but they argue that the jobs are hardly worth having since they are low paid and exploitative. Those in favor of globalization accuse their critics of being shortsighted protectionists. They claim a more integrated global economy will ultimately benefit everyone because it will enable countries to specialize in those areas where they perform lest. Developing countries, with their higher populations and lower wages, will concentrate on labor-intensive industries, such as raw materials and manufacturing, in much the same way as Western countries did during the industrial revolution. The ricer countries, on the other hand, will diversify into hi-tech industry. The effect of this, say supporters, will be to improve productivity in all countries, leading to higher living standards. The free movement of capital will also help poorer countries to develop so they can play a full and active role in the world economy. Even supporters of globalization acknowledge, however, that there will be losers. At present, those suffering most are people working in labor-intensive industries in the developed world. Without the protection of trade barriers and the welfare states, their chances of improving their skills and living standards will disappear, resulting in a growing divide between rich and poor. But how close are we to a truly global economy? For the losers, probably too close. But in terms of real economic integration, there is still a long way to go. What is really holding globalization back is the lack of labor mobility. Labor markets remain overwhelmingly national, even in areas like the European Union, where citizens live and work in any EU country. The main reasons for this are language and cultural barriers; the lack of internationally-recognized qualifications; and, in some areas, strict immigration controls.

　　Lost and Found The weekend was over, and Begbie had returned to town, restless, and strangely unhappy. There was within him a curious sense of something lost. He unpacked his suitcase listlessly, compared its contents with the catalogue of his weekend needs. Everything was there, from hairbrush to dinner coat -- yet that sense of something left behind still oppressed him. A second time he went over the list and compared it with his possessions, to find that nothing was missing; then on a sudden moment there flashed across his mind a full realization of what the lost object was. "That's it!" he said with a sigh of relief, "I'll write at once to my hostess and ask her to return it." Action followed the resolution, and, seating himself at his desk, Begbie wrote: My Dear Mrs. Shelton, Upon my return from the never-to-be-forgotten series of golden hours at Sea Cliff, after the habit of the departing guest, I have left at least one of my possessions behind me. It is of value perhaps to nobody but myself, but poor as it is, I cannot very well do without it. It is my heart. If by some good chance you have found it, and it is of no use to you, will you be good enough to return to me? Or, if by some good fortune you find it worth retaining, will you please tell me so, that I may know it is in your custody and is not lying somewhere cold and neglected? It is the only one I have, and it has never passed out of my keeping before.Harrison Begbie The following morning, Begbie received a letter postmarked Sea Cliff, and addressed in the familiar handwriting of his hostess. Excitedly he tore it open and found the following: My dear Mr. Begbie, What careless creatures you men are! I have found ten such articles as you described in my house during the past ten days, and out of so vast and varied a number I cannot quite decide which one is yours. Some of them are badly cracked; some are battered hopelessly, and only one of them is in first-class condition. I'm hoping it is yours, but I don't know. In any event on receipt of this won't you come down here at once and we can run over them together? I'll meet you on the arrival of the 12:15 at Wavecrest station. Meanwhile, knowing how indispensable a part of the human mechanism a heart truly is, I send you mine to take the place of the other. You may keep it until your own is returned to you. P.S. Telegraph me if you'll be on the 12:15 train. Mary Shelton Ten minutes later the following rush message sped over the wire: Mrs. Shelton: Haven't time to telegraph you of arrival on 12:15. Am rushing to catch the 9:05. Harrison
