> Containers have been more important for globalisation than freer trade
Why did you editorialize the title?
The Economist article doesn't say that. It does state "In fact, new research suggests that the container has been more of a driver of globalisation than all trade agreements in the past 50 years taken together."
Although they do also state it's difficult to quantify & that "containerisation" seems to, in turn, drive freer trade.
