Chomsky vs. Friedman

Chomsky
Noam Chomsky defines globalization as a system that mostly helps people in the upper class who have a say. He further goes on to describe how globalization creates free trade around the world. But on the negative spectrum, globalization "wipes out domestic production" which then forces poor farmers out of business. 

Friedman
As Ted Friedman describes the arguements in his book at a press conference, he conveys the fact that the world is getting smaller and smaller due to globalization. Also, Friedman tells viewers how in the 1400's people would colonize as a nation and a whole. Now, as globalization shrinks the world, the "dynamic agent" is a lot more independent.
