The leading powers in the globalisation: Difference between revisions

The leading powers are the most competitive. Countries able to dominate markets, dominate globalization. The key factor is price. A country able to compete in price dominates the market. China dominates the goods market offering the most competitive price. Countries able to offer the biggest quantity of oil for a competitive price dominate the market. The USA offers competitive price for its currency, Brazil dominates sugar and beef markets. The EU dominates most of the agricultural markets, since the final price is the result of costs and subsidies.  

Labor costs, environmental costs, energy costs, transportation costs, financial costs as well as direct and indirect expenditures, real costss and external cost, taxation, and subsidies play a role.  

The global free market can only exist if we are able to set up equal world prices. If in Europe we harm our production by the inclusion of environmental costs, we can never be competitive in paper production, in the production of steel, iron, glass. If environmental damage caused by the destruction of tropical forests is not part of the price of Brazilian sugar, we can not be competitive. As much as US opened its market by low price of dollar, we can not compete with Euro. As much as Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are able to produce crude oil for less than 20 USD per barrel, no one can compete. Island became important manufacturer of aluminum, since energy costs almost nothing, the very same holds true for Qatar.
