There's no pure capitalism in the world, and never has been: laws, taxes, tarriffs, and regulations always affect the way business is done and the choices businessmen make. To posit that the globalization debate is a battle between capitalism and isolationism (or any other ism) is to oversimplify the issue. People who are concerned about *unchecked* globalization observe the dramatic impacts it has on the poor and the environment, mainly. Of course, there are a range of responses, but the more sensible ones are based in the premise of phasing in changes while working individual problem areas to minimize side-effects. I think pretty much everyone accepts that globalization is inevitable, and the final results are desirable. But transitions can be well executed or they can simply be laissez-faire chaos. (See also: Iraq -- you can't go from a dictatorship to a democracy just by tearing down the dictatorship). The "capitalism purists" are as much out of touch with reality as the "anti-globalization" purists: real life simply doesn't have any purity. There are all sorts of forces and trends going on simultaneously, the role of intelligence is to be able to see clearly what matters in a situation and act creatively and appropriately. To bind the mind to a particular philosophical viewpoint and look there for all the answers is to stop functioning responsibly.
