Trade Knits the World Together
There is what has been called the McDonalds Golden Arches theory of world peace. Countries that sell McDonald’s fast food do not go to war against each other. Countries that accept fast food outlets are embracing free trade and free trade reduces the risk of war. Most of the people that were killed in war were killed in the first half of the 20th century. The second half was a much more peaceful time. Globalization and international trade are helping to make the world a safer place.
