What a bunch of p'tooie. There is nothing inevitable about this. Economics is
a purely human activity which depends entirely on human decisions. It is
" humans " which is driving globalization not some amorphous concept of
" universe " which resides in your head.
The vote on China can stand as direct proof of that. Where is YOUR evidence
that the "universe" did it?
