Is globalisation killing craftsmanship? | The Stream

From the creator

As globalisation reshapes how goods are made and consumed, traditional crafts are increasingly under threat. We explore what is being lost as handmade skills struggle to survive in a fast, profit-driven global economy. From sustainability to cultural identity, the discussion asks whether handmade work still has value and if it can survive in a world built for speed and scale.
