Very many thanks, Steven. Your encapsulation of the dominant (and dominating) system, capitalism is quite right.
There is, at least, one other globalised (in the geographical use oof that term) economic system: the Co-operative Alternative. While I berate those elements within it as being 'Co-operative Capitalism' (Mutuals, some Worker Co-ops, Most, probably, of the Agricultural Marketing Co-ops, as such examples) there are millions, likely some Billions of indivual True Co-operators who work diligently for this globalised alternative to capitalism.
Other aspects to which I was alluding was in other aspects of the term 'globalisation' include the global mobility, now, of people (through all of the migration routes: holidays, family visits, economic and refugee migrations) and the globalised nature of things like Facebook.
Yes, capitalism seems hegemenous (if my poor understanding of thst term is remotely correct) but it is an *immensely unstable* hegemony.
As The City knows all too well!
Again, my very great thanks for your very useful posts and for this very civilised conversation!
Very best wishes,
John
