The downside of globalisation

REVIEWING Robert A. Isaak's The Globalization Gap: How The Rich Get Richer And The Poor Get Left Further Behind rekindled my feeling of deep gratitude to Kuok Foundation. The foundation had financially enabled many poor undergraduates to complete their basic degrees and freed their lives from the shackles of poverty. 

This leads to an interesting point made by Isaak: Left on their own without resources or assets, the poor will continue to be the poor, which he defines as “those without the income or assets to satisfy their own households’ basic human needs, such as food, water, shelter, energy, education and medical treatment.”
