Well, it certainly looks that way if you're looking at it through the lens of the flow of products and goods.
But not the case if you're looking necessarily at the flow of money, for example.
Not necessarily if you're looking at the flow of people.
And for sure, not the case if you're looking at the flow of data around the world.
One of the things that's, I think, underappreciated is just how digitized the global economy has become.
and just the massive amounts of data flows, digital data flows that now happen across borders between countries, and how much that is tied into globalization works.
So if you're looking at globalization through the lens of digitization, digital data flows, nothing is slowing down.
In fact, if anything, it's accelerated, actually.
That's why you often hear people who are looking at it through that lens say, oh, no, it's even more globalized than ever before.
But people looking at it through the flow of products and goods, for example, might say, oh, it looks like it just slowed down.
So that's one of the things that's changing.
And it's also the globalization of digital data flows is actually interesting because one of the things that it does is it changed the participation map quite significantly.
So we did some work where if you look at it through that lens, you suddenly found that you have
many more countries participating and many more kinds of companies participating as opposed to just a few countries and a few companies participating in the global economy.
You have much more diversity of participation.
So you have very tiny companies, a two, three person company in some country
plugged into the global economy using digital technology and digital platforms in ways that wouldn't have happened before if you were a two, three person company 30 years ago.
So this digitization of the global economy is really quite fascinating.
The other thing that's going on in the global economy is the rebalancing, if you like,
where with the emergence of China as a big economy in its own right, that is changing the gravitational structure, if you like, of the global economy in some very profound ways, right?
