Resumen

Globalization is an elastic concept, to which everyone bestows the characterization that they wish. But there are also important currents of contemporary thought that agree in attributing certain characteristics to this phenomenon. In this brief essay I will try to refrain from dealing with this question, that is, by reviewing the world literature on the issue, in order to concentrate on my interpretation of globalization. Globalization has been a generalized process involving the extension of trade and the capitalist socio-economic formation (with its historical base in Western Europe), with its structures, institutions, and values, to all the corners of the planet and the deepening of its different temporary modalities on a planetary scale, although in its initial stages this expansion coincided with the extension of pre-capitalist values and structures and institutions, mainly feudal, although also characteristic of slave-holding societies.
