Seriously, I don't see why everything has to be either black or white. This is the kind of thinking I'm worried about:

Hmm... let's see... if we take away globalization, the world will be as backward as North Korea. We should globalize and free the economy. Let's start with agricultural subsidies. We should stop protecting our farmers against cheap imports. If they complain, they should sell their land and allow the market to find a more efficient use for it. I'm sure some land developer will gobble them up. Uhm... and why not do away with our nationalized our oil industry? Oil producing nations and oil companies will be forced by the market to give us fair prices. Lassiez-faire economics is perfect! We don't need regulations! If we keep them, we will become like North Korea and will be ruled for decades by an ugly shmuck with bad hair.

And, yes, over-protection can be problematic too. If someone wants to start a thread on that, I'd be happy to share. =)[/quote]
