But, so would the telegraph, the railway, the steam ship, wireless telegraphy, the airship, radio, air travel, television, pictures of the world from space, satellite television, CNN, Internet, derivatives traders, and so on. If there is a Chinese restaurant in a town, it shows global culture. If these is no Chinese restaurant, it shows the town is lagging behind in the globalisation process. Global processes are confused with global erosion of borders. Recent trade is used as evidence of globalisation, although trade across continents is thousands of years old, and there has been all-continent trade for 200 years.
Belief systems disappear slowly.
But logic is not what the globalisation hype is about anyway. . .
