Well, since asdf32, RIP, responded to me pointing out that he used "globalization" to refer to trade generally (doing this implicitly and explicitly) by ignoring it, there's not much point in writing it at tedious length unless I were aware this would aid understanding, because I have basically zero desire to treat this as debate rather than discussion. In fact, given that he gave a definition of "globalization" that didn't say poo poo about containerization and then pretended he had made containerization part of that definition a post or so later, it seems as though he's a liar plain and simple, or else incredibly loving stupid, to the point of any conversation being an uphill struggle.
