Good morning, everyone. In today’s lecture we’re going to talk about globalization. It is seen as a problem of the present and the future rather than the past. As long ago as 1841, Chateaubriand , one of the leading statesmen and writers in France, wrote about the notion of a " universal society". Firstly, he wondered about the consequences of a global society for the individual and, particularly, the many different ways in which different nations convey emotion. He asked, since we feel and experience things at different times, in different ways and different climates, would it ever he possible to have only one language? Similarly, he doubted whether it would ever be feasible to have one law or one government for all. Chateaubriand’s visions of the future were based, not on the technologies of the Internet and the airplane, but rather on the telegraph, which revolutionized the communication system of the time. You may be surprised to learn that it was recently discovered that in Europe, between 1865 and 1871, a proposal was being put together to create one common, unified currency. It would seem that the proposal was only abandoned as a result of a depression which occurred in several European countries in the 1870 s.
