"With plasticity, we are not facing a pre-given difference, but a process of 

metamorphosis."

I was thinking about Catherine Malabou's talk last night on plasticity, attachment as pathology and her position that there is only one (singular?) world. I was also reflecting on her conflation of capitalism with globalization.  My searches led me to these articles in The Nation (www.thenation.com) by Susan George and William Greider.  I'd like to share them for purposes of furthering the discussion in class.... enjoy.
