The new phase of Capitalism

As time seems to go by faster and is no longer an obstacle for us, Globalization is a where the momentum that had built up for years, takes us as an capitalist society. The ability to start a business and have it blow up in proportion to have it in different regions of the country, then eventually out of the country and make it a larger than life icon such as Starbucks. It did not even start out as a coffee house, it got it's start as a roaster and retailer of coffee beans, and now they are located in 44 different countries.

"Globalization is a distinctly new phase of capitalism which requires a fundamental change in our weltanschauung ." The problem with that statement is that we are all too busy living our fast paced lives to really see the big picture and what globalization is doing to the world. We can't change our perspective of something we are all a part of, it is the machine which we are all somehow connected to either by choice or just by chance. The only reason i say that is because all kinds of bussinesses are all tied up somehow you don't even know who's products you're really buying. Not many people seem to care as long as it makes their lives easier.
