- Lydon McGrath Productions
Kicking the tires of globalism, also known as "globaloney," the "ism" nonetheless of our age.
A complex web of money, ideas, disease, culture, terror, hope, pollution, warfare, and conscience pulling the world together, tearing the world apart, or maybe both. There's a doctrine of global markets for Jeffrey Sachs to decipher?mobile capital and still a lot of people stuck in misery.
Globalism is also the instant-message Internet, world music and literature, connections that Zadie Smith and the architect Tay Kheng Soon will think about out loud. How is it the so-called
"world community" is coming apart around war with Iraq amid the global visions of a more functional human family?
We're talking about global trends that could kill us, or make us wiser, more human.
Guests: Jeff Sachs, Zadie Smith, Colin Channer, Tay Kheng Soon.

Review of The Global Condition
Beware: the WWW contains powerful and important messages compiled and presented expertly and with great understanding of the subject matter. These are simultaneously the program's strengths and weaknesses.
The presenter moves energetically from subject to subject, without leaving a clear trail for the listener to follow, unless you're journeying along equipped with an understanding in the major (and minor) issues of development cooperation.
The WWW is useful in that it is internationally oriented, something sorely lacking in American public radio. And granted, there is a goldmine of information available, but it's not for everyone. I doubt it was intended to be. Savory, but for special tastes.
