No efforts have been made to create a strong consumer base in the Philippines itself by improving the lot of the Filipino workers (Bello 3). Had a local market been created and some protections afforded to Filipino workers, development may well have proceeded in a more positive direction as the nation would have been better able to take advantage of those aspects of globalization that offered true benefits, rather

Globalization is the fule that nations need to find what their true competitive strengths are. Coddling nations through protectionism and subsidies is like taking protein or iron from their diets; over time, they will atrophy and die due to a lack of infusion of capital, competitive vibrancy and growth.
Electricity being out for three weeks nearly forces an elevator sale to nearly be cancelled, no suitable drainage from massive rains floods his family's apartment, and the Indian value of bartering and customizing is diametrically opposed to the strict discipline of a low-end product strategy where no variation in standard products is allowed. Mr. Napoli's experiences culminate in one year elapsing before a single elevator is sold, and that one
