Free markets are neither good or bad they just are... they always have just been. Markets now are global hence globalism. They will continue to trend because they simply exist. Globalism is the understanding that this is simply the way the world is/works.
To deny that is when you get into trouble. History is littered with examples both recent and past of countries embracing it and other times not. The UK in the 19th century, the United States in the 20th century, and China becoming a remarkable and recent example of what happens when you accept the way things are. Recent examples of countries that haven't are the Soviet Union, Post Meiji Restoration Japan and Nazi Germany. (NO I am not comparing Trump to the Nazis but it was a strong nationalized economy that due to protectionism was effectively bankrupt and facing financial collapse as early as 1941 regardless of the outcome of the war.)
Here is a different take on Globalism as I see it from a conservative source:

Here's the real conservative take on globalism: Globalism is the loss of national sovereignty that is replaced by a one-world government.
