During the earlier epoch global progress was spurred by developments in transportation such as the railroad and the steam ship, whereas in more recent years it has been the airplane that has played a central role in global development. The telegraph greatly enhanced global communications in the early twentieth century, while it is the Internet that plays that role nearly a century later. Global economic development, both then and now, depended on large – scale flows of capital. This is related to another similarity between today and a century ago and that is an emphasis on free trade and the elimination of trade barriers
However, similar problems are existed. First, poor nations and the peoples who inhabit them were and are subjugated by the operations of the global economy. Second, not all parts of the world gain from the growth of the global economy.
