“So long as globalisation was slow in coming, everyone hoped and prayed that it would come soon. The unity of the world’s nations was one of the great triumphalist themes of modernism.

The erasing of differences may not portend the era of universal reconciliation that everyone confidently expected.” – René Girard, The One by Whom Scandal Comes
