Globalists are always trying to distort society and the consequences of the 2008 financial crash as a temporary blip on the economic engine that global trade has to offer everyone. There are many authors funded to write business and pro-trade books exposing the positive traits of a global economy that has only benefited a dozen million people while billions are reserved to poverty status and ecological disaster.
Daniel Altman is one such author and he has written a book of surprising trends that he says will reshape the global economy. Altman tries to forecast the trends in his boring book called "Outrageous Fortunes" and I only review it to highlight some of the things he predicts about globalism. He does admit that a new wave of colonization is taking affect in the name of global trade as poorer countries will find themselves under ownership once again of foreigners but Altman tries to sow that the colonizers shipping food to china from Africa somehow will not benefit from this transactions. The new colonizers of Saudi Arabia and China already cheat and deny freedoms to their own citizens one must wonder what they would do to people living in their new economic colonies and land in far away countries. This only promises to be a environ=mental disaster as China ships its fine ecological record to more lands. 
The brain drain will continue as smart people in Africa and Asia continue to flee the limited opportunities this new colonization promises to native born people. Altman also agrees that capitalists have not been able to show that with all their advantages they cannot prevent more crashes and cannot be trusted to make the correct morale decisions yet still supports the system to bring corruption to a global stage that only promises more wealth for a few at the top. the only good part of this book is his analysis and historical perspectives of the economic order and how it changes from country to country through the years but increased completion from all countries only promises constant instability for governments and economies and this is basically all Altman should repeat throughout this book and the fact that the elites will always play and game the system ensuring they will never be a victim of this disequilibrium. This will always be the net result of a commercial culture and only a few connected people with tremendous power of printed money supplies will have the outrageous fortunes
