Your book sounds really interesting...Ive just about finished reading George Ritzer's Modern Sociological Theory for one of my classes and found the section on globalization theories to mirror my own thoughts about transnational capitalism and its effects on society via media, politics, the economy and other institutions. I am glad to see intellectuals, such as yourself, here on youtube to combat much of the pointless and superficial jibber jabber of other users!!!!!
