Technology vs Nationalism: The Global Clash

Carlos Obregón Díaz

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: In less than fifteen years, the world has experienced the worst financial crisis since the 1930’s, the worst global pandemic since the flu in 1918, and the largest war fought since the Second World War. This manuscript argues that these crises are not isolated events. The main thesis is that the global economy of the twenty first century must be understood as the consequence of the global clash between technology and nationalism. The three crises happened due to this global clash, which also explains the world`s climate crisis, and the uprising of international crime. We are experiencing the first technological revolution that has truly globalized the world, the ICTR (Information -Communication-Technology-Revolution); and a backlash against it, led by nationalistic, protectionist, populist tendencies. The future of the global economy during this century will be defined by the outcome of this global clash.
