Globalization: Winners and Losers?

What are the effects of globalization on the well-being of ordinary people? Do some gain at others’ expense? Does globalization cause job losses? What about outsourcing? The trade deficit? Sweatshop labor?

Find out the answers to these questions from Dr. Donald Boudreaux, chairman of the Department of Economics at George Mason University.  Dr. Boudreaux blogs at Café Hayek and is the author of Globalization, published this year. There will be plenty of time for audience members to ask questions during an open Q&A session.
