Abstract
There are three popular views of current trends in ‘localness’. In the first, national economies, and large parts of the international economy, are becoming increasingly homogeneous. Production is dominated by the transnationals and consumption by mass-produced world products. Ever-improving communications are rendering production footloose. Skills, culture, technologies and methods of work are becoming equalised — a McDonalds’ world.
