TOPIC 1 Prepared by: KATHLEEN MAE T. GALESTRE
The Global
Economy
Content
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) regards “economic
globalization” as a historical process representing human innovation and
technological progress. It is characterized by the increasing integration of
economies around the world through the movement of goods, services, and
capital across borders. These changes are the products of people,
organizations, institutions, and technologies. As with all other processes of
globalization, there is a qualitative and subjective element to this definition.
Evidently, international economic globalization is a core tenet when talking about Globalization. It refers to
the interconnectedness of world economies in this age. But economic Globalization is not without its
implications. As we move towards a ‘globalized’ world based, we also face “globalized problems.”
International Trading Systems
Trading systems are not relatively a

new concept. The oldest international trade
route was the Silk Road- a network of
pathways in the ancient world that spanned
from China to what is now known as Middle
East; and to Europe. (Claudio and Abinales,
2018 p. 14). It was named as “Silk Road”
because one of the highly-prized products
traded in this route was silk. The Silk Road was
used regularly from 130 BCE until 1453 BCE
when the Ottoman Empire closed it. While the
Silk Road was “international” as it
encompassed numerous countries, it was not
“global” as it did not include ocean routes
towards other countries and continents. (Ibid). Figure 1.0 The Silk Road was an important trade route from East to West. Image source from:
Encyclopedia Britannica: Silk Road.
Historians Dennis O. Flynn and Arturo Giraldez posited that the age of “globalization” began when “all important
populated continents began to exchange products continuously-both with each other directly and indirectly via other
continents-and in values sufficient to generate crucial impacts on all trading partners.” Both historians attribute this to
1571 with the establishment of the Galleon Trade that connected Manila in the Philippines and Acapulco in Mexico.
(Claudio and Abinales, 2018, p.14)

colonies to trade with other nations, restricted trade routes, and subsidized their
exports. (Ibid)

Gazette
Another trading system emerged in 1867 where

countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, and other
European states adopted the gold standard at an
international conference in Paris. This system, in its simplest
sense, meant that currency prices and a fixed exchange rate
system are based on the value of gold. While this was a simpler
trading system, it was a very restrictive one.
Generally, it targeted the goal of establishing a “common
system” that allows efficient trade, dissolving then the
“isolationism” brought about by the mercantilist era. Using gold
as a basis for currency prices meant that countries were now
compelled to back their currencies with fixed gold reserves.

Market
Integration World War I almost depleted the gold reserves of countries to fund their
armies. Due to the low gold reserves, they adopted a floating currency that
was no longer redeemable in gold. A floating exchange rate is a regime where
the currency price of a nation is set by the forex market based on supply and
demand relative to other currencies. (Investopedia, n.d.)
After World War I, an economic crisis called the Great Depression started- ending in
1930. The event was one of the longest economic depressions- and one of the worst experienced
by the Western world. Experts argue that this was due to the adoption of the gold standard, and
after WWI, gold reserves were almost depleted and it limited the amount of circulating money.
(Claudio and Abinales, 2018 p. 15)
Today, we do not operate using the gold standard. We use a Fiat currency- a currency that is not backed by a
commodity such as gold. This increased the role of banks as they can now control how much money can be printed
for the public.
Planning the post-war economy and avoiding another Great Depression

(Baylis, Smith, and Owen,2014)
At the end of World War II, the challenge was to create ways to avoid another economic crisis:
a. A stable exchange rate system

b. A reserve asset or unit of account (such as gold standard)
c. Control of international capital flows
d. The availability of short-term loans to countries facing a temporary balance of payment crisis
e. Rules to keep economies open to trade
Talking about the Bretton-Woods and the Neo-Liberal movement

The Bretton Woods System was adopted during the aftermath of World War II. This system was envisioned to
create a global economic system that would ensure a longer-lasting global peace. For peace to be achieved here, the
system offered to set up a network of global financial institutions that would promote economic growth and
prosperity. (Ibid). The system was highly influenced by British Economist John Maynard Keynes. Keynes believed that
"economic crisis occurs not when a country does not have enough money, it occurs when money is not being spent.
Santiago City

The Bretton Woods system created two (2) financial institutions. The
World Bank (previously the International Bank for Reconstruction and
Development) and the International Monetary Fund, (IMF).
The World Bank was previously responsible for funding reconstruction
projects after World War II. The IMF meanwhile, was the lender of last resort
for countries to prevent it from collapsing. If economic growth in a country

IMF would step in.
Breaking down the “Bretton Woods system”
It was agreed that all countries’ currencies would be fixed at a certain value at the Bretton Woods Conference.
In effect, currencies were fixed to the dollar to gold at $35 per ounce. In this sense, the exchange rates were anchored to
a dollar-gold standard. According to the Bretton Woods system, any country that wants to change the value of its
currency had to seek permission from the IMF. This results in a stable and unchanging exchange rate. (Baylis, Smith,
and Owens, 2014)
The “Neoliberal” Movement
Keynesian economics saw its application throughout the 1940s to

1970s. During this period, governments poured money into their economies,
allowing people to purchase more goods and, in the process, increase demand
for these products. As demand increased, so did the prices of these goods.
Western and some Asian economies like Japan accepted this rise in prices
because it was accompanied by general economic growth and reduced
unemployment. The theory went that, as prices increased, companies would
earn more, and would have more money to hire workers. Keynesian
economists believed that all this was a necessary trade-off for economic Figure 2.0 John Maynard Keynes. Image source from:

By the 1970s however, the price of oil rose sharply as a result of the

system. The result was a phenomenon called stagflation- a decline in
economic growth and employment.
Santiago City

Stagflation takes place alongside a sharp

increase in price inflation. This was the phenomenon
that Keynesianism failed to predict, giving then birth to
a new form of economic thinking that negated the
Keynesian orthodoxy, the “neoliberal thinking”.
Figure 2.2 Milton Friedman (left) Friedrich von Hayek (right) Image source:
Britannica.com
Keynesian economics was challenged by economists such as Friedrich von Hayek and Milton Friedman. Both
argued that the government’s practice of spending money on their economies had caused inflation by increasing the
demand for goods without increasing supply. More profoundly, they argued that government intervention in
economies distorts the proper functioning of the market. The “neoliberal” thinking emerged to contrast Keynesian
ideas. From 1980s onward, neoliberalism became the strategy of the US Treasury Department, The World Bank, the
IMF, and eventually the World Trade Organization in 1995. The policies they forwarded are now known as the
Washington Consensus. (Claudio and Abinales, 2018 p. 18-19)
The Washington Consensus dominated global economic policies from the 1908’s until the early 2000s. Its
advocacies pushed for minimal government spending to reduce government debt. It also called for the privatization
of government-controlled services like power, power, communications, and transport-believing that the free market
can produce best results. Finally, governments were pressured, particularly in the developing world to reduce tariffs
and open up their economies, arguing that it is the quickest way to progress.
From GATT to WTO

Tariffs are used to restrict

it was successful in the reduction of trade barriers among
industrialized countries. However, when protectionism in 1970s
flourished, the GATT was powerless to restrain powerful members
from restricting trade and abusing the many exceptions and
safeguard in the agreement. It was also slow in response due to its
nature for consensus on any decision regarding dispute.

The WTO’s function meanwhile includes a. acting as a forum for trade negotiations; handling trade disputes; b.
monitoring national trade policies; c. supplying technical assistance to developing countries; d. cooperating with
other international organizations. (Baylis, Smith, and Owens, 2014)
The Global Financial Crisis and the Challenge to Neoliberalism

As Neoliberalism gains ground and support from countries, it is not without issues. Neoliberalism was under
fire during the 2008 Global financial crisis. Even if it happened primarily in the United States, since countries are
interconnected in the form of investments and foreign capital-other, the latter were affected.
Below are excerpts from an Article by the History Extra (The Official website for BBC History Magazine)
on the Global Financial Crisis of 2008:
What was the financial crisis of 2008?

The 2008 crash was the greatest jolt to the global financial system in almost a century – it pushed the world’s banking
system towards the edge of collapse.
Within a few weeks in September 2008, Lehman Brothers, one of the world’s biggest financial institutions, went bankrupt;
£90bn was wiped off the value of Britain’s biggest companies in a single day; and there was even talk of cash machines
running empty.
When did it begin?
On 15 September 2008, Lehman Brothers [a Wall Street investment bank] filed for bankruptcy. This is generally considered
to be the day the economic crisis began in earnest. The then-president George W Bush announced that there would be no
bail-out. “Lehmans, one of the oldest, richest, most powerful investment banks in the world, was not too big to fail,” says
the Telegraph.
What caused the financial crash?
The 2008 financial crash had long roots but it wasn’t until September 2008 that its effects became apparent to the world.
Santiago City

The immediate trigger was a combination of speculative activity in the financial markets, focusing particularly on property
transactions – especially in the USA and western Europe – and the availability of cheap credit, says Scott Newton,
emeritus professor of modern British and international history at the University of Cardiff.
There was borrowing on a huge scale to finance what appeared to be a one-way bet on rising property prices. But the
boom was ultimately unsustainable because, from around 2005, the gap between incomes and debt began to widen. This
was caused by rising energy prices on global markets, leading to an increase in the rate of global inflation.
“This development squeezed borrowers, many of whom struggled to repay mortgages. Property prices now started to fall,
leading to a collapse in the values of the assets held by many financial institutions. The banking sectors of the USA and
the UK came very close to collapse and had to be rescued by state intervention.”
“Excessive financial liberalization from the late 20th century, accompanied by a reduction in regulation, was underpinned
by confidence that markets are efficient,” says Martin Daunton, emeritus professor of economic history at the University
of Cambridge.
Where did the crisis start?
“The crash first struck the banking and financial system of the United States, with spill-overs into Europe,” Daunton
explains. “Here, another crisis – one of sovereign debt – arose from the flawed design of the eurozone; this allowed
countries such as Greece to borrow on similar terms to Germany in the confidence that the eurozone would bail out the
debtors.
“When the crisis hit, the European Central Bank refused to reschedule or mutualize debt and instead offered a rescue
package – on the condition that the stricken nations pursued policies of austerity.”
…
Was the crisis unusual in being so sudden and so unexpected?
“There was a complacent assumption that crises were a thing of the past, and that there was a ‘great moderation’ – the
idea that, over the previous 20 or so years, macroeconomic volatility had declined,” says Daunton.
“The variability in inflation and output had declined to half of the level of the 1980s, so that the economic uncertainty of
households and firms was reduced and employment was more stable.
“In 2004, Ben Bernanke, a governor of the Federal Reserve who served as chairman from 2006 to 2014, was confident that
a number of structural changes had increased economies’ ability to absorb shocks, and also that macroeconomic policy –
above all monetary policy – was much better in controlling inflation.
“In congratulating himself for the Fed’s successful managing of monetary policy, Bernanke was not taking account of the
instability caused by the financial sector (and nor were most of his fellow economists). However, the risks were apparent
to those who considered that an economy is inherently prone to shocks.”
Santiago City

Newton adds that the 2008 crisis “was more sudden than the two previous crashes of the post-1979 era: the property
crash of the late 1980s and the currency crises of the late 1990s. This is largely because of the central role played by the
banks of major capitalist states. These lend large volumes of money to each other as well as to governments, businesses
and consumers.
“Given the advent of 24-hour and computerized trading, and the ongoing deregulation of the financial sector, it was
inevitable that a major financial crisis in capitalist centers as large as the USA and the UK would be transmitted rapidly
across global markets and banking systems. It was also inevitable that it would cause a sudden drying up of monetary
flows.”
How did politicians and policymakers try to ‘solve’ the crisis?
Initially, policymakers reacted quite successfully, says Newton. “Following the ideas of [influential interwar economist]
John Maynard Keynes, governments didn’t use public spending cuts as a means of reducing debt. Instead, there were
modest national reflations, designed to sustain economic activity and employment, and replenish bank and corporate
balance sheets via growth.
“These packages were supplemented by a major expansion of the IMF’s resources, to assist nations in severe deficit and
offset pressures on them to cut back which could set off a downward spiral of trade. Together, these steps prevented the
onset of a major global slump in output and employment.
“By 2010, outside the USA, these measures had been generally suspended in favor of ‘austerity’, meaning severe
economies in public spending. Austerity led to national and international slowdowns, notably in the UK and the eurozone.
It did not, however, provoke a slump – largely thanks to massive spending on the part of China, which, for example,
consumed 45 per cent more cement between 2011 and 2013 than the US had used in the whole of the 20th century.”
Daunton adds: “Quantitative easing worked in stopping the crisis becoming as intense as in the Great Depression. The
international institutions of the World Trade Organization also played their part, preventing a trade war. But historians
might look back and point to grievances that arose from the decision to bail out the financial sector, and the impact of
austerity on citizens’ quality of life.”
What were the consequences of the 2008 crisis?
In the short term, an enormous bail-out – governments pumping billions into stricken banks – averted a complete collapse
of the financial system. In the long term, the impact of the crash has been enormous: depressed wages, austerity and deep
political instability. Ten years on, we’re still living with the consequences.”
