Jihad vs. McWorld: How Globalism and Tribalism are Reshaping the World is a book by Benjamin Barber, which examines not only the economic, but cultural and religious aspects of globalization. He proposes one future of "Jihad in the name a hundred narrowly conceived faiths against against every form of interdependence...against modernity itself as well as the future in which modernity issues...[a second] future in shimmering pastels, a busy portrait of onrushing economic, technological, and ecological forces that demand integration and uniformity and mesmerize people everywhere with fast music -- MTV, Macintosh and McDonald's -- pressing together into one homogeneous theme park....caught between Babel and Disneyland, the planet is falling precipitously apart and coming reluctantly together only at the very same moment."[1]
