History of Globalization

• The concepts did not permeate popular consciousness until the later half of the 1990s.
• The earliest concepts and predictions of globalization were penned by an American entrepreneur-turned-minister Charles Tazz Russell who first coined the term 'corporate giants' in 1897.
• Various social scientists have tried to demonstrate continuity between contemporary trends of globalization and earlier periods.
• The first era of globalization (in the fullest sense) during the 19th century was the rapid growth of international trade between the European imperial powers, the European colonies, and the United States.
• After World War II, globalization was restarted and was driven by major advances in technology, which led to lower trading costs.
