Saskia Sassen, "The World's Third Spaces" openDemocracy

Do discussions about globalization adequately deal with the deep transformations taking place? Is the world economic crisis properly called a "crisis"? Saskia Sassen, author of Territory, Authority, Rights, talks about what she calls global cities; argues that it's too late to save the global financial system; and describes arrangements that fall outside the usual national-global binary.
