TECHNOLOGY: MAKING GLOBALIZATION REDUNDANT

Alfredo Toro Hardy

Chapter 5 in The Crossroads of Globalization:A Latin American View, 2019, pp 125-151 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: On a periodical basis, humanity goes through groundbreaking phases where beliefs and certainties are shaken to their core and substituted by new set of convictions. The Western world has been through three of those periods during the last six centuries. These were the Renaissance in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the Enlightenment during the eighteenth century and Modernism, which began at the end of the nineteenth century but reached its peak during the twentieth. In each of these phases, the way men thought about themselves and their physical environment changed considerably. If by comparison to these very creative periods the twenty first century looks unremarkable, we may have to think again.
