Victoria DuBois, Chapter 12, Question 6

The part in chapter 12 that I found the most interesting was on page 284 as Wheelan explains in a small paragraph or so that there isn't an example in modern history of a country developing successfully without inter grating themselves into the global economy. In the paragraphs leading up to this fact, Wheelan talks a lot about India and China and how each of them would not have as strong of an economy if it were not for globalization. This is interesting to me because although I knew that globalization was important for many economies, I have never thought about how in order to have a truly successful economy, there has to be globalization.
