Free-market economists assert that global economy is material processes forced by and promote transborder flows of capital, goods and services. This unprecedented phenomenon was affected by the global financial crisis emerging in 2008. During the financial turmoil, global economy is still discursively reconstructed and politically argued for. However, few studies have explored the dialectical relationship between discourse and global economy during the financial crisis. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the way globalization, especially the global economy is discursively constructed in strategic texts in the period of global financial crisis. By applying Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and the pragma-dialectical approach to argumentation, this paper analyzes political economic speeches of George Bush and Wen Jiabao and Opinion-Editorial articles from the Washington Post and the China Daily. As a result of the transdisciplinary analysis, the paper reveals that the project of global economy must be maintained even in the epoch of financial crisis. The argumentative discourse of global economy during the financial crisis is characterized by problem-solution structures. The authors also advanced their arguments based on selected topics that are easy to handle and most agreeable to discourse participants. The discourse of global economy defends the ideology of capitalist globalization. The paper suggests that there be a need for public awareness of both the material and discursive processes of globalization.
