经济和政治自由主义在世界范围内的传播是二十世纪后期的决定性特征之一。以自由市场为导向的经济改革——宏观经济稳定、对外经济政策自由化、私有化和放松管制——在世界许多地区扎根。几乎同时，民主化和自由宪政的“第三波”席卷了全球大部分地区。大多数经济学家认为，发展中国家从经济政策自由化中获得的收益可达数千亿美元。但他们也承认自由化有时会带来不稳定和人类的不安全感。
The worldwide spread of economic and political liberalism was one of the defining features of the late twentieth century. Free-market oriented economic reforms – macroeconomic stabilization, liberalization of foreign economic policies, privatization, and deregulation – took root in many parts of the world. At more or less the same time, a "third wave" of democratization and liberal constitutionalism washed over much of the globe. Most economists believe the gains to developing countries from the liberalization of economic policies to be in the hundreds of billions of dollars. But they also acknowledge the instability and human insecurity sometimes left in liberalization’s wake.
