摘要:Globalization is a process which results from dynamic economic, political, cultural or religious forces. These forces are simultaneously shaping and reshaping the international division of labor, favoring or opposing capital accumulation, and pushing toward an increasing homogeneity of human behavior and consumption or attempts to resist this movement. However, the author maintains that the driving force is economic. More specifically, the critical agent in globalization is shown to be Transnational Finance Capital (TFC) (involving both Transnational Corporations and Transnational Banks).
