RE NATION STATES AND MARKET STATES AND GLOBS AND BLOBALIZATION

This is my new term for 'it':

BLOBALIZATION

I still think I see the spectre of nationalisms, good and bad, and more importantly, civilizationalisms,

hovering above and within  the blobalizations now long under way.

'The world is flat' metaphor, just doesn't 'cut' it,

liposuctionally, or obesity surgery-wise.
