Today we’ve published two new essays for Cato’s Defending Globalization project:

• Money Across Borders: How Cryptocurrency Has Opened Global Exchange, by Nicholas Anthony, explains that cryptocurrencies have opened new opportunities for people across the world to move money across borders in an ever‐​increasingly globalized economy.
• Food Globalization Puts the World on Your Plate, by Scott Lincicome and Sophia Bagley, shows that globalization is not just about trade agreements and container ships—in fact, there may be no better symbol of real globalization than the restaurant down the street.

UPDATE: We also have a new video of Cato Distinguished Scholar and Isaiah Berlin Chair in Liberal Thought Deirdre Nansen McCloskey discussing her Defending Globalization essay, “Globalization Creates a Global Neighborhood, Benefitting All”:

This content joins seventeen other essays and other multimedia features on the main Defending Globalization project page.
