Yes globalization is the prime manifestation of the greed inherent in Capitalism and personified above all in elites who put profit above all else. On a more practical level though the end of globalization is also good because that way people may pay more heed to local resilience and local resources and they they are being used or abused.

"I've probably said something similar for the last 6 months."

Then you're already guilty of bad calls and just think it's perfectly OK to keep issuing bad calls ad infinitum. Good one, assuming you don't mind looking clueless.

According to this image blog it has already started...

Markets have corrected substantially since the beginning of the year as most of the gains of the past two years have been erased. According to Bloomberg, 40 out of the largest 63 markets have dropped over 20%. The image below shows the performance of markets word-wide since their most recent peaks. Most markets are in a bear market phase or are at best experiencing a strong correction. The world is red!

Where do global markets stand?

Considering how unreal the inflation of the markets was based mostly on government actions rather than natural economic forces the whole world needs to have a bear market for 12-36 months just to undue the false gains imposed from above.

IMF warns the global economy is 'highly vulnerable'

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ' ')The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said the global economy has weakened further and warned it was "highly vulnerable to adverse shocks".

It said the weakening had come "amid increasing financial turbulence and falling asset prices".

The IMF also noted any future prospects for global growth "could be derailed by market turbulence, the oil price crash and geopolitical conflicts".

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ' ')The value of goods crossing international borders plunged 13.8% in 2015 according to the Netherlands Bureau of Economic Policy Analysis’s World Trade Monitor.

Much of the slump was due to a slowdown in China and other emerging economies.

The start of 2016 sports a similar pattern....

You're REALLY not good at appealing to authority. It takes more than a quick google search to find a piece of supporting evidence. I mean, come on, that's a fluff blog piece meant to support an online business.
