Alex Singleton | Journalist and political commentator

I was on Al Jazeera International yesterday discussing the case for globalisation in the light of the World Economic Forum which is being held at the moment. I argued that developing countries that have opened to globalisation have gained huge improvements in living standards, while those that have remained relatively closed have been left behind. Globalisation, far from being about exploitation, has seen millions of people lifted out of poverty in the past year alone.
