Quotes

  • The ways in which these economic processes, largely originating in the US, have, in short order, flowed around the world is breathtaking and, unfortunately, well illustrates this book's major themes.
  • Marx's insight of a century-and-a-half ago was not only highly prescient, but is far truer today than in Marx's day.
  • One important point about the idea that there are multiple globalizations is the fact that it further complicates the whole idea of finding a point of origin for globalization.
  • The polar view, as it was for Marx, is that it was not material factors, but rather ideal factors, that are the main drivers of globalization.
  • Cultural imperialism involved, among many other things, exploration, missionary and humanitarian missions, travel, and the use of education and publishing to disseminate European ideas.
  • In the end, the key point is that in gaining a better understanding of these processes, we gain a more nuanced and sophisticated sense of the fundamental nature of globalization.
