I did not intend to imply that globalization ended, only that it declined after 1914. Sorry if that was not clear. Globalization includes many things. One clear measure that I rely upon is the ratio of world trade growth to economic growth. A ratio greater than one indicates an increase in globalization. After 1945 (or 1939?), the ratio begins to rise steadily, then rapidly since the mid-80s. Bos
