American international companies made millions and millions of dollars from globalization, Ma the founder of Alibaba, the worlds largest online retailer told participants on the second day of Davos. The past 30 years, companies like IBM, Cisco and Microsoft made tons of money. The question is: where did that money go It was wasted, Ma explained. In the past 30 years, America has had 13 wars at a cost of 14. 2 trillion. Thats where the money went. He also questioned Americas decision to bankroll Wall Street after the 2008 financial crash, arguing the money would have been better spent in other areas. What if they had spent part of that money on building up their infrastructure, helping whitecollar and bluecollar workers Youre supposed to spend money on your own people.
