Features: Globalization is a term widely used today. The author starts by examining how the global economy creates a class of global landowners and thoroughly analyzes various manifestations of globalization, as well as its impact on the economy, political structures, social systems, and even our concepts of time and space. It brings both unity and division, widening the gap between the rich and the poor. Globalization does not bring the expected hybrid culture; instead, it creates a world that is increasingly converging.
