The article accurately presents the upside of globalization but fails to analyze the anti-globalist reaction; it only dismisses it as irrational. Unfortunately, tribalism, or more accurately anti out-group bias,  is deeply rooted in the human psyche, not because it is "true" but because it "worked" for our evolutionary ancestors. Bildt is right that it "works" no longer. History shows the nostalgia for a mythical tribal age that never was is a threat to our survival. As a species, we may not be able to stand our own success.
