Globalization is a world society of two groups: the rich and pesants. The rich no longer need the middle class. Globalization is a new dark age we decend into.

What is globalization? Globalization is when the world becomes one huge, boring shopping mall. Globalization is when everything is from China. Globalization is when nothing unique is left in the world and stores in Paris, NY, Dubai, and Shanghai are mass-marketed chains, bland, and predictable, and when all the stores in those places are practically the same.

I have one example from France. One thing the French are good at is producing relatively small quantities of a product with very high quality. These small companies cannot compete in the globalized market. A small, private French dairy making high quality cheese has far greater costs than some massive dairy corporation in Argentina. And when grocery stores become big and globalized, they do not want to bother with small quantities because it is too costly for them, so no matter where you go, you get the same mass-marketed stuff.
