Good news about globalisation

Here's a lesson on globalisation from Johan Norberg:

"Indian-American entrepreneurs own nearly 20 percent of all Silicon Valley high-tech startups, and an estimated 55 percent of all U.S. motels are owned by Americans of South Asian ancestry. In 2000, a staggering one of out every nine Indian-Americans was a millionaire and almost 60 percent of Indian-Americans over 25 have graduated from college."

Another success story of globalisation: They get jobs, I get a cheaper motel. They become millionaires and I get better technology. But don´t expect the world´s governments to understand the plus sum-game that trade represents.

The last lesson, about the inability of governments to learn, is the bad news.
