It is now some time since the hawks beat Obamacare in the US and then launched a full throttle attack on Europe's social model(s). And society has started its comeback, mostly in Europe and somewhat in the US. The growth of hawkish parties in Germany, the NL and elsewhere has been causing a variety of side effects such as Greece's golden dawn party. Some are in the progressive direction (PODEMOS, SYRIZA, etc).
What will come out of 2015's other elections in the UK, Spain, etc? The upcoming US elections? In any case, fasten your seat belts and hold your passports tight in your hands.

What is global?
In this day and age of globalisation, there are certain things that are more global than others. As I wrote in an analysis back in 2004, global are things that six different people of different nationalities and walks of life on a long distance flight can talk about.
Most things global, in 2004 and still today, are of course, Anglo-American. Courtesy of the language.
Movies such as When Harry Met Sally and You Got Mail, both with Meg Ryan, are part of global pop culture.
Paris is global too. The French language, not. Sorry M. Shirac!
To become part of global markets, pop culture and other dimensions of it, is not easy, of course. One either inherits it or works hard and smartly to achieve it.
Ancient Greece did.
