Abstract
Globalization is an often misused concept, although David Leadbeater’s edition employs one version appropriately. Partly the error stems from thinking that globalization is a recent development, despite globe-wide interchanges since at least the late 18th century, even if some continents’ interiors remained relatively untouched until the 20th century. And since the broader spatial reach of corporations has done little to overcome social inequalities and provincial mentalities, the much-touted benefits of globalization are questionable. Indeed, the global practices of most hegemonic states and corporations have tended merely to continue the excesses of labour exploitation and military incursions of the colonial era, exemplified by the use of child labour (Nike among many) and the American/British/Russian unilateralism in diplomatic and military adventures. Even in fields such as health or scientific knowledge, the present supposedly global world has witnessed mostly increasing international disparities. That does not, of course, prevent countries that have large global enterprises from having huge pockets of poor health services and low education, as Canada’s Native population and the average American’s understanding of the world illustrate. Many elements of the latter type of globalization are well presented in Leadbeater’s edited case study of Sudbury. One review essay / note critique

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
