About Quote by Zac Goldsmith
“While big business gain subsidies and political access, small businesses drown in red tape, and individuals now risk being classified as terrorists for complaining about it. Economic globalisation is about homogenising differences in the worlds' markets, cultures, tastes and traditions. It's about giving big business access to a global market.”

Source Speech: Public commentary on economic policy, 2020
Big corporations benefit from subsidies and political influence while small firms face bureaucracy and individuals risk being labeled as threats for dissent. Globalization flattens cultural and market diversity, favoring large enterprises.
In simple terms: Big firms get help; small ones struggle; people can be criminalized for speaking out.
