The economic benefits of cross-border connectivity have long stood in sharp contrast with social disparities between rich and poor nations. New political alliances that arise from a united front among rich nations against global terrorism may well compound this gap... Not only does history tell us there is nothing inherently stable about globalisation, but it also highlights globalisation's tendency to sow the seeds of its own demise... The forces of globalisation which once seemed unstoppable are facing new resistance... The playing field may be tilting before our eyes. (Stephen Roach, Chief Economist, Morgan Stanley, in the Financial Times, September 28, 2001).
