ABSTRACT
Globalisation: International economic integration through liberalised trade and technology that allows rapid flow of information and goods. An unstoppable force already of inestimable benefit to billions of people and with the potential to enrich everyone. ‘… the imposition on the entire world of the neo-liberal tyranny of the market and undisputed rule of the economy and of economic powers, within which the United States occupies a dominant position’ (Pierre Bourdieu). An ideal of shared wealth, limitless innovation, world government and no more war. Another word for corporate greed, exploitation and destruction (particularly of the environment). It depends on your point of view, but also on where you live.
