Norberg focuses on the human dimension of globalization, how increased and freer trade is the best way to help the wretched of the earth.
Johan Norberg: The core is that capitalism and globalization -- by which I basically mean free and open markets and the liberal political, economic, and social institutions that support them -- bring freedom of choice to people in countries that have never experienced this before.
Norberg: I think that there are two basic reasons that lead environmentalists to oppose globalization and the industrial development that goes along with it.

To escape police scrutiny, Norberg, his daughter and wife, Sharon, moved to Recluse in 1980 during an oil boom in the isolated area of cattle farms and coal mining pits.

I am convinced it was Scott Norberg's letter to his father--or rather that letter juxtaposed against the damning snuff film and Manning's devastating narrative--that induced the insurance lawyers to cut a check and run.
Norberg spoke gibberish to the police who approached him, and popped one of them in the head when he was being handcuffed.
But you may not know that three months before Norberg was killed, the U.S. Department of Justice sent the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors a formal letter alerting the county that the abusive conditions and excessive force used inside the jails run by Joe Arpaio violated the Constitution.

Norberg looks at certain deceptive ideas, for example the one that claims the rich are getting richer and the poor poorer, giving us the good news of rapidly diminishing poverty and pointing out that the measure should be how well one is doing, not how well situated one is in relation to others.
Norberg dismisses the hoary old argument that western countries are rich because they stole the resources of Third World countries in colonial times.
Norberg investigates a vast range of issues, from development assistance (It is wasteful in that it normally involves the transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries), child labour and working conditions.

We know from this paper that Norberg is a liberal because he expresses in it the underlying liberal principle that individuals should choose their own identity, and reject inherited ones.
Norberg, in fact, is such a devotee of the free market, that he wants no controls at all on the movement of labour.
Norberg wants us to be free to choose as long as we don’t choose traditional, “pre-fabricated” roles and identities.

Norberg's vocals have a uniquely compelling quality; on first listen he sounds awkward, almost atonal, but his performance will grow on you until his singing becomes the album's most distinctive feature.
Unfortunately, that uniqueness wears off fairly quickly and the songs themselves are revealed as mostly unremarkable forays into singer/songwriter territory -- the hooks aren't as memorable as they need to be and the backing instrumentation is buried too deep in the mix to pick up the slack.
At best, Norberg is an interesting revisionist; at worst, he's a painful wannabe.

Norberg raises some interesting points insupport of his theory, poverty certainly has by some measures declinedduring a period of accelerated globalisation however Norberg seems to onlyskim the surface of some of the problems this can cause.
While he devotesthe early sections of the book to quoting statistics from neo-conservativegroups supporting his claims that globalisation means democracy, hedoesn't spend as much time discussing the often inept injustices of thesenew "democracies", nor the irony of advocating increased democracy via agroup of unelected [though very powerful] institutions like the IMF andWTO.
The United Nation statistics that suggest a rise inpoverty in Europe, the problems "transitional democratic" governments havefaced in fighting poverty, child labour and the increase in those livingon less then an equivalent of $1 either seem to either become trivialinconsistencies or are ignored.
Het spreekt voor zich dat ik Norberg meer zie zitten.
For some strange reason, a bigot anti-gay professor, who prefer monarchy to democracy and oppose open borders (and think that the pro-immigration position I have "can be understood only psychologically") has become the favourite of some American libertarians.
This quote is often said to be said by Voltaire, though actually it was only a kind of summary of his thinking, summarised by his biographer: "I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it."
