What I would laugh at, with allowances and reservations, it the ever present consiracy theories persisting and cropping up, about capitalism acting and speaking with one coordinated mind/voice. Now, here, we see "world capitalism"? This neo-Marxist professor that I just linked seems, on very cursory examination, to be dealing in theories, not scientific facts, anyway, IMO. I do detect some ideological roots of the anti-free trade movement, there, which I think are ill-concieved.

Admittedly, the large old combines of coal, oil, coffee, doughnut, switch grass, hemp, and railroad ownership, f'rinstance, tend to occupy a large space in the academic consciousness.

"A monolith is a geological feature such as a mountain, consisting of a single massive stone or rock, or a single piece of rock placed as, or within, a monument. Erosion usually exposes the geological formations, which are most often made of very hard and solid metamorphic rock.
