In the global economy, corporations demand enforceable laws - intellectual property and copyright laws - backed up by sanctions to protect their products. However, when we ask these same companies, "Can't we also protect the rights of the 16-year-old who made the product?," the companies respond: "No. That would be an impediment to free trade!" Young garment workers in Bangladesh share their experiences working for companies like Disney and Wal-Mart.

Speakers: AnnaLee Saxenian, Dean, School of Information and Professor, City and Regional Planning, University of California, Berkeley. Steven Weber, Director, Institute of International Studies and Professor, Political Science The mobility of skilled labor is transforming the flow of knowledge around the world. As U.S.-educated engineers and professionals return to their home countries, they are turning what once was a brain drain into a two-way process of brain circulation. These professionals are transferring to developing regions the technology and managerial know-how that once resided exclusively in advanced economies like the U.S. This process is fueling the emergence of new centers of technology entrepreneurship and creating new competitors for Silicon Valley and foreshadows persistent global skill shortages in coming decades.

http://www.mediaed.org Featuring Naomi Klein. In the age of the brand, logos are everywhere. But why do some of the world's best-known brands find themselves on the wrong end of the spray paint can � the targets of anti-corporate campaigns by activists and protestors? No Logo, based on the best-selling book by Canadian journalist and activist Naomi Klein, reveals the reasons behind the backlash against the increasing economic and cultural reach of multinational companies. Analyzing how brands like Nike,The Gap, and Tommy Hilfiger became revered symbols worldwide, Klein argues that globalization is a process whereby corporations discovered that profits lay not in making products (outsourced to low-wage workers in developing countries), but in creating branded identities people adopt in their lifestyles. Using hundreds of media examples, No Logo shows how the commercial takeover of public space, destruction of consumer choice, and replacement of real jobs with temporary work � the dynamics of corporate globalization � impact everyone, everywhere. It also draws attention to the democratic resistance arising globally to challenge the hegemony of brands.

Complete video at: http://www.fora.tv/fora/showthread.php?t=533 Author and social critic Jerry Mander discusses how the cultural concepts of indigenous peoples endure despite globalization, and speculates on the benefits of adapting these ideas to modern life. ----- In this spirited book, Jerry Mander partners with the celebrated indigenous leader Victoria Tauli-Corpuz to gather powerful firsthand reports on a momentous collision of worldviews that pits the forces of economic globalization against the Earth's indigenous peoples. With many of the planet's remaining natural resources on indigenous lands, traditional practices of biodiversity preservation have, ironically, made these lands targets for global corporations seeking the last forests, genetic and plant materials, oil, and minerals to feed their unsustainable growth. Corporate invaders often employ military force, as well as harsh pressures from the World Bank, IMF, and WTO. But native peoples refuse to be victims; their stories of resistance and growing success are gathered here by twenty-five writers to describe the impacts. Jerry Mander is founder of the International Forum on Globalization. His books include "In the Absence of the Sacred" and "Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television" - Cody's Books

Not since the Industrial Revolution has the workPlace been so dramatically restructured. Globalization has been a triumph for the corporate giants and for e-commerce. But the explosion of international trade has also meant jeopardising jobs, forcing out local industries and an ever greater impact on the natural world. The scale of the Seatle protests took the world by surprise and was proof for many that it's time to re-examine the global economic machine

Dubai, China, the United States and globalization from the man who may know it best, Jim Rogers. Called "The Indiana Jones of finance" by Time Magazine, Jim Rogers is one of the best global experts of our day. A conversation with legendary investor, adventurer and more... traveler Jim Rogers. Mr. Rogers and George Soros were co-founders of the famous Quantum Fund, one of the most successful hedge funds of all time. Mr. Rogers's extraordinary track record and insights alone set him apart from so many peers but perhaps most interesting is his take on the global economy. Mr. Rogers has traveled around the world twice, most recently on an ambitious 152,000 miles journey to over 115 countries. This trip earned him and his wife Paige Parker Rogers a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records. Mr. Rogers was called "the Indiana Jones of finance" by Time Magazine and recently has focused on commodities and investments in China. Jim Rogers is founder of the Rogers Commodity Index and a regular guest on CNBC and other programs. Jim Rogers is the author of Hot Commodities, A Bull in China, Investment Biker and Adventure Capitalist. In this video interview Jim Rogers discusses his thoughts on American isolationism,. Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the Middle East, Africa, Asia, commodities and our changing world. "If the middle of Africa blew up, we'd never know about it in the US. The rest of the world might, but we wouldnt." "Most Americans can point to Japan on a map, they cant tell you where it is or why they should know or why its important." "Dubai is working to become the best at everything." He is interviewed here by Bruce Fenton, editor of the Fenton Report online wealth management magazine.
