Globalization and financialization form one mutually reinforcing process, not rival frameworks

Evidence

Says Milberg: ‘the globalization of production by US firms has helped sustain higher levels of financialization of the US non-financial corporate sector and this financialization createsgreatincentivesforcost-reducing and flexibility-enhancing offshore production by US lead firms’ (2008, p. 421). Financialization and globalization are therefore not mutually exclusive analytical frameworks, but rather two sides of the same coin. — Natascha van der Zwan, Making Sense of Financialization, 30
