Globalization (Economic): Causes and Effects

Despite being “the big buzzword of our times”, the truth is that there is still a great lack of knowledge about the causes and effects of globalization. For example, we often hear about the "Americanization" of our way of life, but few people know that the United States ranks very poorly in what is the most popular composite index of globalization used in academic literature (the so-called KOF Index); the big surprise of some rich country governments when they discovered their dependence on China for some medical equipment, etc.
