This article argues that globalization poses a fundamental challenge to the distribution of income. The authors explain how globalization tends to favor developed countries or established corporations at the expense of developing countries or smaller companies. Such developed countries have the autonomy to decide what is right and wrong for them. According to the article, globalization is an idea of the rich nations and their multinational organizations.
