the historian angus madson found that after the last era of globalization broke down with the onset of world war i, trade and immigration flows were pressed for three decades. in many ways we still do live in a world of pervasive globalization, especially in the digital economy. according to a bloomberg report, trade and services has risen by 50% over the last ten years. royalties and licensing fees, an indication of the spread of information of technology and entertainment worldwide, are up about 60%, while migration flows have actually remained stable over the last decade, travel has continued to expand dramatically year after year. you see, we humans want to have contact with the rest of the planet. the solution to problems of a global age can only be global, better information, communication and coordination across the world. no one country can stop an epidemic by itself. international collaboration is crucial. sadly it's far easier to peddle fear and hate and explain that it all began because the chinese eat raw bats. for more go to cnn.com/fareed and read my "washington post" col
