I know.. I just said they don't deal with it specifically. Do you want me to list the university text books i've read on the subject ? I put those two out because they are an interesting read. And yes, a short history of progress does deal with globalization quite specifically. It's one of the main factors the author uses in his argument. And then obviously Capitalism gets drawn into the equation since it more or less goes hand in hand with globalization.
If you really want to have a discussion about this feel free to add me to msn.

For your entertainment, here are some of the more boring books that i've read.
Simulacra and Simulation - Jean Baudrillard
Postmodernism, or, the cultural logic of late capitalism - Fredric Jameson
The Postmodern condition: a report on knowledge - Jean-Francois Lyotard
Practices of Looking - Marita Sturken
I've also read countless journals, which helped me in the writing process of a number of essays.
Really interested ? I could send you some.
