Summary/Abstract: In this article, I put forth the argument that globalization represents a Durkheimian mechanicalization of the world via the Protestant Ethic and the spirit of capitalism under American hegemony, and contemporarily the earth itself and Islamic Fundamentalism are the last remaining counter-hegemonic forces to this process, which threatens all life on earth.
