Keith Porter:<\/strong>\u00a0I think that we hear so much here at the start of the 21st century about globalization. But you see a globe like this [“News of the World Business Globe<\/a>” from the 1930s] and you recognize it as a concept that really has deep roots.<\/p>\n

George Glazer:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes. I think people thought of a lot of these things earlier. The concepts of internationalization of the world, globalization. And they were excited in the 1920s and the ’30s with the idea of the shrinking world and how it all would become accessible, because that was a new concept at the time…But these globes relate, as I said, to transportation and also to communications. You’ll see the Atlantic cable…which was in the 19th century, they put a cable between Europe and the Northeast for communications. And these were very exciting concepts at the time-that you could communicate with Europe relatively quickly. And they were new concepts. Now we take a lot of these for granted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
