Globalization corresponds to the satellite vision of

the globe worked out by the managers of big

businesses. […]

Seen from above, the Earth seems One: nations,

states, borders, orders, people’s humors, races and

political regimes, shades without disappear.[….]

It is the all-one dream of Platonic philosophers,

who have never ceased to evoke it, finally made

real.

The all-one is the territory of capitalism made real.

prospective.

The characteristics that identifies how certain companies are more able than others in order to compete at a global level, refer to that specifical

period my study took place.
