LA Era De Las Aldeas / The Age of Villages: LA Pequena Aldea Vs. LA Aldea Global / The Small Village Vs. the Global Village (Spanish Edition) [Spanish]

By Alfredo Toro Hardy

On September 11, 2001 the world bit into an apple in the modern garden and acquired a troublesome new self-knowledge. The Venezuelan scholar and diplomat Alfredo Hardy explores the fault lines that led to this terrible tremor, and takes readings of the forces of history that were building under the World Trade Center. He describes the sudden emergence of 'global village' economic culture into the world of actual villages. September 11 was a senseless act but not an a-historic one, and Toro-Hardy argues convincingly, these tragedies were not merely one more confrontation between the homogenizing Western economies and the currents of traditional cultures. The plates of international order are moving under us with a fluidity that no other time has known; when they stop we will be looking at a new international order.
