I've seen a presentation by Thiel, which i can't search for at the moment, in which he makes a somewhat nuanced argument that globalization is only sometimes good, depending on how much technological innovation is happening in the economy. He observes that outside of computing, technological development has to some degree stalled since the 70s, and concludes that in such an economic environment, unfettered globalization is to be avoided.
No political party in the world supports "unfettered globalization". If that were so, WTO conferences would not drag on for years because countries were deadlocked over relaxing agricultural subsidies.
