Summary - A distinguished international economist here offers a powerful defense of the global market economy. Martin Wolf explains how globalization works, critiques the charges against it, argues that the biggest obstacle to global economic progress has been the failure not of the market but of governments, and offers a realistic scenario for economic internationalism in the post-9/11 age.

About 400,000 engines will be produced at the plant every year - one rolling off the production line every 30 seconds.
But some firms are concerned that more parts are not being made locally after it emerged that 50% of components going into the new engines will be made abroad. (Source: You tube)
