Summary/Abstract: Despite its contradictory character and being refuted by most radical international left-wing movements, globalization has become one of the basic world phenomena since the last quarter of the past century. For the time being, it seems to continue, though the recent global economic crisis has produced at least in some parts of the world quite surprising responses. There is evidence in several countries that people in times of crisis spend less money on buying material goods and, on the contrary, buy more books and visit libraries more often. The former fact has been echoed by the press of Spain and the latter by the public media of my country, Estonia.
