Global Supply Chain Management and International Logistics
Waalkes offers a critique of Friedman's, The World is Flat along with other experts who have offered their theories of globalization. Waalkes, a political science professor at a Christian college in northeastern Ohio, describes how he generally agreed with proponents of globalization until he begin hearing stories of how his students and their families were affected in negative ways. As factories moved from Ohio to Mexico, China, or elsewhere in the world, goods could be produced more cheaply, but the question becomes, at what cost?
Waalkes uses the church calender to offer a different way of looking at globalization. I found myself learning a bit about globalization and a lot about the church calendar.
If I understood Waalkes correctly, there is likely little we can do to slow or stop globalization. But, we can make choices based on our understanding of the universal church and the idea that we should want what is best for Christian brothers and sisters and their non Christian neighbors in all parts of the world. Using the church calendar as a way to offer regular fasts, or to lend support to the decisions we make, can perhaps make it easier to sacrifice if it feels like it is for a larger purpose.
Waalkes encourages his readers to become aware of where our products come from. For example, the pants I purchased last night came from Haiti, Bangledesh and Vietnam, while the shoes were made in China. What do I know about the conditions in which they were made? What do I know about the people who sewed them? Is there a way we can make a connection?
The book took me awhile to get through but it is thought provoking and I would recommend it to people who have read Friedman's books and other works on globalization.
