Besser dran / Better Off Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Besser dran / Better Off:

Globalization and trade liberalization were supposed to make us all better off through the mechanism of trickle-down economics.

The fact is that during the post-1989 heyday of globalization optimism, political and business elites did not think enough about the prospect - plainly predicted in economic theory - that trade would harm some people even while leaving society as a whole better off.
