This exploration delves into the history and evolution of globalization, addressing why the phenomenon is often regarded as a recent development. The author argues that significant advancements since 1970—such as technological innovations, changes in trade policies, and geopolitical events—mark the true beginning of globalization. Key moments include the end of the Bretton Woods system, the fall of the Soviet Union, the establishment of the WTO, and contemporary events like 9/11 and the Arab Spring, all contributing to the complex narrative of global interconnectedness.
