Basically what I am arguing there is that, there‟ve been 3 great eras of globalization, I would argue. The first era, try to call globalization 1.0, lasted from while, I would say, 1492 until the early 1800s. Say, 1820 was the beginning of global arbitrage(套利). The first era of globalization 1.0 really shrank the world from a size large to a size medium. That era of globalization was really spearheaded by countries globalizing. You went global through your country. Whether it‟s Spain exploring the new world, Portugal East Asia, Britain colonizing India, it was countries going global for reasons of imperialism, power, natural resources. But the dynamic agent of globalization in that era was really the country. The second era of globalization, globalization 2.0, I would argue, was from early 1800s until the year 2000. It just ended. And that era of globalization shrank the world from size medium to size small. And that era of globalization, I would argue, was spearheaded by companies globalizing, multinationals
