The third episode in a 3 part series exploring the changing economic world in
the 20th century: the clash between governments and the marketplace, the debate
over the impact of globalization, and the forces shaping future economies. This
episode tracks the global economy through the 1990s to the present. The focus
is on American policy as both political parties embrace unfettered globalization
over the objections of organized labor. Internet-linked financial markets, unrestricted
capital flows and floating currencies drive levels of speculative investments
while entrepreneurs create multinational corporations. As popular unease grows
that the system is just too complex to be controled new opposition to globalization
forms as the gap widens further between rich and poor.

wealth.
