Peer to Peer Globalization

Bing! Bruce gets it (of course):

Globalization is not about the World Trade Organization telling the world what to do. It's about Utah talking to Latvia.

Globalization is less a function of a complex top down global rule set than a minimal rule set allowing ad hoc peer to peer connections.

It seems to me that a corollary to this - though not necessarily a part of globalization - is the simultaneous orders of magnitude improvement in communication (internet) that has allowed educated, intelligent and trained people to connect and communicate in ways and to a degree never before possible.

(This isn't a fully developed thought, just an anecdote at this point...)
