Abstract
In the early 1990s, most of the world had converted to free-market capitalism, setting the stage for a new, and rapidly growing, global economy. Disappearing trade barriers and unrestricted capital flows fueled by a global workforce and furious technological innovation would all transform the world economy. This program examines the promise and perils of globalization, focusing on the story of President Bill Clinton's embrace of free-trade policies, the challenges the world's leaders faced in taming the virulent contagion of financial collapse, and the violent debate over globalization. Spanning from the 1992 presidential campaign to the September 11 attacks, this film candidly confronts the issues of “globalization.”
