Globalization, meaning the global expansion of a market economy, is the only way we can guarantee widespread prosperity and peace.

Markets are a social construction, they're made from institutions. We in a democratic society create markets, we constitute markets, we bring them into existence, and we shouldn't turn markets over to a narrow group of people who regulate them and run them in their interests, rather they should be run democratically for the common good.
