Madison Ave and the Roman Empire
It is alleged that because millions participate in it, certain reproduction processes are necessary that inevitably require identical needs in innumerable places to be satisfied with identical goods.
-Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer (1944)
This follows the same model that was ushered in with Roman expansion of Christianity. Local geo-historically founded identity, religious and cultural practices, resulted in being swept away. Madison Ave and the Romans, have much in common.
- John Joseph Kehoe (2014)
Globalization
This term ‘globalization’
needs to be interrogated
and eventually disposed of,
for the globe, is not becoming global,
it is becoming un-global
and homogenized into one big ball of shit,
which is Made in America.
(taken from a letter to a friend) London, 2002.
