Title:
Wording:
The task is to understand how capitalist globalization has created a global proletariat.
Time:
hours
Introduction:
Conditions for the working classes in Europe, USA and Japan improved from 1900 to 2000 resulting in better living conditions, lower working hours, holiday payments, better access to health care, pensions and access to basic education for their children. However some of these benefits won during 100 years are being reduced and threatened by the concentration of wealth and power to few but gigantic multinational companies. The multinational companies have spread their production and trade all over the world with profit as the only aim of their operations. They are not national capitalist with national concerns or obligations towards their home country. They move their productions to countries that promise cheap and flexible labor, few environmental restrictions, low taxes, good infrastructure and other facilities that can ensure an effective and cheap production. The goods are sold world wide. Some local governments might try to put restrictions in the form of tax on import of certain goods to protect their own local producers. However such behavior is often punished by the most powerful states or international institutions like the WTO - World Trade organization, the IMF or the World Bank.<br /> The means of production is in this way being concentrated on fewer and fewer hands. The workers and the workers’ unions have been weakened by the fact that the multinational companies move their operations if they demand better working conditions. Today workers need to communicate and organize internationally to be able to fight for better rights. This is not easy as there are cultural, economical and language barriers to be overcome beside the physical distance from one country to another.<br /> However groups of people do organize internationally. The easy access to international communication and knowledge inspires more people to look for a better future and eventually also to take up the fight for a more humanized development.
