Faces of Globalization: A New Perspective with Scott Lincicome

In alignment with his Defending Globalization project, Scott Lincicome brings us three on-location installments of his Faces of Globalization video series.

One of the main motivations behind Cato’s ongoing Defending Globalization project was that most public discussions of “globalization” miss what it actually is.

Lincicome highlights that “Globalization” typically evokes thoughts of container ships or trade agreements, but real globalization is billions of humans cooperating in billions of ways, without direction from any one person, company, or government.”

We don’t see the faces behind the T‑shirts we buy, the faces behind the video games we play, or the faces behind the car we just bought. But they’re always there, and the Faces of Globalization series wants to help you see some of them, in ways that challenge what many people think about trade, migration, and our daily lives.

“Through these videos, you’ll discover the revival of tiny West Point, Georgia, a “textile town” turned into a “car town” because of globalization; you’ll travel to Guatemala to meet some of the people behind the T‑shirts we all wear; and you’ll see how borders and cultural barriers disappear through the world of online gaming.”
