Following the economic crisis of 2008, globalization has come to an end as an ideological project that served to naturalize capitalism under its own name, making capitalism invisible behind phenomena that were treated as quasi-natural and largely beyond human control, according to Cazdyn (U. of Toronto, Canada) and Szeman (U. of Alberta, Canada). With this alleged return of capitalism and end of globalization comes the pressing need to confront post-globalizaiton, they further argue. This need has largely been ignored because within the ideology of globalization is a configuration of time that cannot imagine an "after" globalization. They challenge this ideology of time and related assumptions about education, morality, nation, future, history, capitalism, and common sense, illustrating their arguments by seeking to demonstrate how these assumptions operate in the writings of Richard Florida, Thomas Friedman, Paul Krugman, and Naomi Klein, as well as how they have been rejected by many students from around the globe (the "children of globalization").
