Many thanks for your review and critique! For the record, I see GloboCap (i.e., global capitalism) as a relatively new beast. People have been owning, buying, and selling things, and paying each other to do things, since the dawn of civilization, but never before has a single ideological power system (whatever we call it) had the ability to dominate the entire planet. I welcome all efforts to articulate that system and track its evolution ... and perhaps figure out how to get a handle on it before it destabilizes, restructures, and privatizes what's left of society into oblivion. All best, CJ

First, let me say that I haven’t read the work in question., but I have a big problem with something that blames this whole worldwide mess on “global capitalism “.

Yes, there are supposed “capitalists” who want a monopolistic totalitarian future run by technocrat experts, but they have little to do with people who believe in real capitalism and fundamental natural rights (the origins of our form of government).

These supposed “global capitalists” really have there origins in 20th century progressivism championed by the left.

Totalitarianism is what the hard left really believes in. They think that they are smarter and morally superior to everyone else......and that those who disagree need to shut up (or be shut up) and do what their betters tell them.

Just because some of these people have used the capitalist system to get rich does not make them capitalists (mentally). All of them at least lean left in their politics and they are collaborating with leftists in government and NGO’s to impose leftist policies on the population.

We see it every single day.......
