Abstract
Globalization argues for free market economy. It has increased, on the one hand, interdependence between different people and different regions of the world and technology has, on the other hand, reduced the geographical, social and cultural distance. Globalization is viewed as a product of political factor expanding and strengthening capitalism. Though the globalization has given many people access to knowledge but it has not made the life better. Globalization could not bring promised economic benefit; instead of bringing unprecedented prosperity it brought unprecedented poverty.
