Globalization is reversible. Higher energy prices are impacting transport costs at an unprecedented rate. So much so, that the cost of moving goods, not the cost of tariffs, is the largest barrier to global trade today.

Not only does this suggest a major slowdown in the growth of word trade, but also a fundamental realignment in trade patterns. May 27th, 2008.
