Why not both? Why the debate here when clearly globalization and currency debasement has an impact on society. I'll go ahead and add technology to the list. Did the information age cause a disconnect between productivity and wages? Perhaps tech + globalization ensured that we have sort of a two tiered system in the west, where information workers have largely benefitted and seen their wages and quality of life go up...but there have not been corresponding booms in the manufacturing sector to support these developments because that labor has been outsourced to developing countries?
