The problem with globalization is that it is the universalization of mobile 'capital' at the expense of labor. Real globalization must begin with the abolition of the nation-state and free mobility of labor.
Capital realized long ago that mainstream economics serves a purely ideological role & has nothing to offer to actual business. It responded by creating the 'business school'. If labor had the same resources, it would long ago have responded with schools of their own to organize.

"The striking thing about the anti-discrimination framework as a feminist strategy was that its starting point took no account of women’s needs."—Susan Watkins, NLR 109 newleftreview.org/II/109/sus…

Susan Watkins, Which Feminisms?, NLR 109, January–February 2018
