This is a retired estate. blog.cfi.co was published between 2019 and 2026, largely outside CFI.co’s editorial process: much of it was templated, and part of it was supplied through a third-party content agency’s account. It also carried republished CFI.co editorial material. It is not governed by the CFI.co governance file and it is not part of CFI.co’s hashed public archive. Publishing here stopped on 30 July 2026.

This notice is the disclosure; the posts do not carry individual dated notes. Nothing has been deleted or unpublished: every page remains at its original address.
In the 1990s and 2000s, the world manufacturing production to a substantial extent moved from advanced countries to some developing countries. This was the result of the combination of an increase of the labor supply in the global market economy, trade opening, and technological transformations that allowed for fragmentation of production processes. As a result, foreign trade expanded, and world poverty diminished. Such trade globalization process stabilized in the 2010s and tends to be partially reversed by the new wave of technological changes.
