Glocalization
Tom Friedman's paean to the Gods of capitalism. Interesting book. Chock full of stories.
The McDonald theory is advanced - no two countries with MickeyDs have gone to war.
Some long uncertain analogies to hardware and software. The implication is that you need the "software" (rights, courts, democracy) for running globalization. Glocalization as a word is coined in this book. Worth the read. The NYTimes has a healthy travel budget.
