Over the past eighteen years, as a civilization and a capitalist  
economy, we have indeed entered a new era, beyond globalism. Are there  
instructive parallels from other eras that might help us? How do we  
imagine ourselves fixing this growing crisis? The changes are  
worldwide, consistent in many ways, but thoroughly irregular in their  
rhythms, like a heart condition across seven continents. It is  a new  
species of feudalism.

Norman M. Klein is a professor at the California Institute of the  
Arts, Los Angeles, and a critic, urban and media historian, as well as  
novelist. His books include: "The History of Forgetting: Los Angeles  
and the Erasure of Memory"; "Seven Minutes: The Life and Death of the  
American Animated Cartoon"; "The Vatican to Vegas: The History of  
Special Effects; Freud in Coney Island and Other Tales"; and the  
database novel "Bleeding Through: Layers of Los Angeles, 1920-86".

His essays have appeared in anthologies, museum catalogs, newspapers,  
scholarly journals, and on the web. They are symptoms of a polymath's  
career, ranging from European cultural history to animation and  
architectural studies, from special effects to cinema and digital  
theory, to LA studies, fiction, media design and documentary film. His  
work (including museum shows) has centered on the relationship between  
collective memory and power in urban spaces; the thin line between  
fact and fiction; and erasure, forgetting, scripted spaces, and the  
social imaginary.
