Sommario/riassunto |
|
The distribution of the world's material wealth is far from even. And while most of the western world may be accustomed to a commercial culture, there are other cultures (e.g., Amish, Islamic, peasant) that are not commercial or are uncomfortable with commercial definition. Because cultural meaning is not universally defined through the market, ""globalization,"" as it is currently understood, is not necessarily a universal aspiration. |
