Globalization: Are You In or Are You Out?

“Global Britain”

A fascinating approach to post-Brexit Britain: trade with other countries outside of the EU. The Guardian explains why “senior ministers are getting out into the world to promote what Theresa May calls “global Britain”.” She and other senior ministers have been traveling to countries from India to Saudi Arabia to east Asia trying to forge new agreements. To note how difficult this strategy would be, 44% of British exports currently go to others members of the EU, so it would take decades for Britain to make up for this loss. This seems very ironic considering the overwhelming sentiment behind the Brexit campaign was anti-globalization.
