GLOBALIZATION HAS BECOME MERELY ASIAFUCKATION
DK in Fighting the course of history, believes that globalization is the inevitable and natural course of history itself:
"...Yet the two men and their regimes have something important in common: they are fighting with history, and to some extent, with the same history. Both are fighting with globalization and its consequences--and in both cases, they are losing, rather than gaining ground...." DK
He is wrong about this, both about Hitler, and about Trump, and about history, but can't tarry to go into it. See this blog.
Larry H Wortzel, my marketing professor at BU, had been a big China hand, early on, even by the late 70s....
International management professor, we read Raymond Vernon, manager in the world economy. I read Sovereignty At Bay on my own later. Etc.
International economics, bozoist post Keynesianism writ globalist. Mickey Mouse analytic geometry.
Macro, great professor, oriented to the bigger picture than just the national economy.
Micro, bigger MNC firms took the lion's share of the micro course, quite understandably.
Management Control systems, tour de force of globalist MNCs from the stretegic vantage point of a controller (comptroller) regarding global taxation planning, transfer pricing, accounting, executive compensation and profitability, and motivation of work forces worldwide.
The sociology course assumed global behavioral norms, with caveats, regarding workers' behavior everywhere. Sociologist psychologist Philip Mirvis, would agree with Randall Collins, "culture is no deeper than skin color". The Sociology of Philosophies, pb, p 383. (Why does Collins ignore completely the whole fricking continent of Africa, baby? I love pointing this out. I guess deeper skin color means no culture, for Collins. Otherwise, why not address Africa? I mean, the book is already 1100 pages. I know, I read them. )
Most of these course used and distributed Harvard Business School case studies and so called scholarly articles, many of them very famous even legendary articles in the management world. Few people outside this charmed circle have ever had any idea of what they thought or wrote.
Normative American academic globalism.
They believed it like Michael Pillsbury believed it re China.
I repeat, in case you missed it:
normative American academic globalism.
Nothing, whatsoever, inevitable, historically, about any of this dumb nonsense.
