The economic crisis that has besieged the world since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic has led to some searching questions about the future of globalisation. Several Western commentators have been debating on whether the pandemic would threaten it. This question is hardly new: Since the middle of the 1990s, or from its very early days, many have had doubts about globalisation’s future. The “Great Recession” of 1929 brought fresh doubts about it with some narrowing the problem down to financial globalisation.

What are locusts? The desert locust is one of the 12 species of short-horned grasshoppers.
