Globalization creates many problems to the world in term of economy, politics and the culture. The globalization has become more apparent with the advent of technological developments. Advances in technology bring more efficient production processes, better products, and faster, cheaper ways of doing business. The immediate effect may be success in business competition, but the total effect is not more profits, but more economic crises due to unfair competition and disorder.

Neo-liberalism has become the new type of imperialist globalization in order to open new markets for trade and investment. This is why and how many numbers of economic crises emerge. Monopoly companies apply free market economics in order to dominate the trade and investment, divide the nations and the countries through privatization of state products and services, and remove regulations that prevent monopoly integration and control and higher profits.
