same problem with the statement "political chaos is a constant" as there is with "outsourcing has been around forever"--its not wrong, but it also doesnt let you think in specific terms. the political chaos of the present is complicated, but at the bottom of my understanding of it is the implosion of marxism as a cultural form.
as for the disembodiment of the production process, it is an important theme and is implicit at pretty much every step of what i wrote. if it isnt, i should think about being more clear when i write or maybe more alert for errors.
the nationalist argument tends to come most from antiglobalization folk---it is really problematic and i take it to be an important index of the particular types of incoherence about in the present.....
