	The Challenge of Global Capitalism
		The global economic turmoil of the century's final years warns that there are serious threats to the health and stability of a liberal global economy.
		Globalization has been blamed for everything from growing income inequality to chronic high levels of unemployment and even to the oppression of women, and critics have favored such nostrums as trade protectionism, closed regional arrangements, and severe restrictions on migration.
		Global overcapacity in a number of economic sectors has caused some observers to declare that the world economy is suffering from a glut of manufactured goods, or what Marxists call "underconsumption"; this has led many observers to declare that global capitalism is in a systemic crisis requiring radical structural reforms.

	SSRC :: HIV/AIDS and Social Transformation Program
		Under the downward spiral of disease and economic stress, some rural communities may cease to be viable, while others may evolve new institutional and social forms that allow, for example, the community to maintain intergenerational learning even as the number of orphans rises.
		Challenges to economic viability, like decreasing population density, may induce economic innovation, or may simply drive rural farmers into the cities.
		While simultaneously enabling many to live longer after infection, treatment is also raising many questions about how implementation may affect the epidemiology of the disease—by changing behavior, by shifting investment priorities and by contributing to the development of drug resistant strains.

		The principal challenge, according to Gilpin, is to find ways to fortify the international financial system against future threats to global economic stability like those caused by the East Asian economic crisis and resulting global economic turmoil of the late 1990s.
		Gilpin insists "the fears arising from globalization must be addressed and must not be rejected out of hand." In the United States this means "solutions must be devised for the problems of growing income inequality, the plight of low-skilled workers, and job insecurity.

		Since an aspect of globalization is the redefinition of enemies and allies, friends and foes, crossing national, territorial, and cultural boundaries, the process of rectification must also utilize the means made available by the knowledge and IT revolution as tools of contemporary global realities.
