Um, but they are SO inter-related that it really seems well, not stupid, but nonsensical or even sinister to try and tell people that they are two different things... as in..."Oh, we're not trying to tell you how to run your country, we're just telling you that you have to trade with "(whoever)" and if you don't, well - we'll just let your people starve."
There is one true thing that will never change as long as the human species exist. There will be the rich and there will be the poor.
Maybe we WILL institute a global government (which is, in my mind, the ultimate goal of globalization). If we do, you can be sure we'll dump our spent uranium and pipe our smog to the less developed countries like all those old science fiction stories foretell.
Capitalism just falls apart if the poor don't stay poor. This scenario is what the 3rd world is truly afraid of...being trapped in a poverty prison.
