Robert Samuelson writes: We are being fed a largely false narrative on globalization. It is not the source of most of our problems. All dynamic economies experience constant disruptions from changing technologies, shifting consumer tastes and inevitable business cycles. Some instabilities come from abroad; most — for the United States — originate at home. What matters is the economy’s ability to offset the losses with new jobs and opportunities. That is the ultimate test. – Washington Post
