What would those two things have anything to do with ECOFIN, you may ask? Well, just to give you a bit of insight in regards to one of the early examples of globalization back in the 1960's, we will take a break from reading and listen to some Louis Armstrong. Yes, that's right. In the 1960's, Louis Armstrong was well renowned for his talents in singing and trumpet playing. He was so talented that the US government decided to enlist Armstrong to serve as "Ambassador Satch," (Satch was his nickname) over in African nations in hopes of spreading good will for America around the globe. State Department-sponsored tours and broadcasts were used in attempts of introducing and swaying foreign citizens towards American culture.Armstrong quickly garnered a large fan base as was soon recognized as an international celebrity and American jazz icon.
Is something like this a positive or negative result of globalization?
How have events like these change cultures across the world?
Do we still observe similar changes today?
