Jose AVS, the root causes of the problems (financial, social, etc.) go back decades and have been accumulated over very long period of times. I am against generalising a specific topic, since every problem may have multiple causes and therefore multiple solutions and can never be identical to other similar problems, it is like comparing one apple with Another. There are multiple varieties of apples, they taste differently, they originate from different countries, they have different colours but they are all called "Apples". There is no such a thing as anti-globalisation unless one is a member of the indeginous tribes living in remote parts of the Amazon forests. We all wear, eat, use technology that originated from multiple countries, therefore by definition, everything we read, eat, wear, etc. is global and therefore is multinational. You mention the "Wealth of Globalisation"; the wealth of globalisation has been squandered fairly and squarely (meaning legally) by the 0.001%. Unless there is a redistribution of this wealth (and this can be done in many ways without anyone really losing out), societies in general are more than likely to see more of the "Yellow Vests"; ISIS, etc. You mentioned Greece, did you know that it was the Greek Parliament back in 2005 that squandered the wealth of the nation (Greece), "legally" by investing the moneys of the state in the Greek stock market and when the Greek stock market went belly up, we both know who benefited and who lost. This is a fact. Add to this, the corruptions and other recent and historical factors, such as wars reparations from WW1 and WW2, then you can imagine the extent of the social and financial damage on Greece and on the Greek population as a whole. Spain is no exception, especially after the dictarship rule; the U.K. when Gordon Brown then the Chancellor of the Exchequers sold the Gold of the nation at US$ 400 roughly an ounce, it is today over US$ 1,300 the ounce and so on. Regarding the EU, I and many others like me commented on the shortcomings of the EU. The EU started as a trading bloc, then kept on expanding to reach the state it is in today, but it evolved without sound foundations, every action it took was reactionary. The US is very different from the EU in that for one it has only one Constitution that all member states must respect and follow, the EU has multiple and contradictory constitutions. I tried to be as brief as I could, the bottom line is, globalisation is not the problem, austerity and the failed policies of governments are the heart of the problems and this is what has caused the "Yellow Vests" movement and other movements that preceded and shall follow them, unless austerity is stopped and honest and trustful policy makers are elected / appointed to implement sound policies" globally".
