The practice of acquisition is most powerful in the corporate governments and entities of developed nations, with most Third World leadership aspiring so. The world has indulged in acquisition with a confidence borne of ignorance and with the false sense of achievement that comes from the misconstrued belief that expertise can be commod-itised, only to result of global ubiquity. This ubiquity of human effort fills our lives with the sameness of the highest built, the longest flown, the smallest designed or the largest made. However, ubiquity seeps into our lives in subtler ways; governments and banks, petrodollar currency, free markets and wars, the truth of a diminishing middle class and an increasing divide between the rich and poor in every part of the world – these all feed and are themselves fed on the ubiquity we live in. Diverse as they might all appear, they all share the single fact of their being byproducts of acquisition.
With commodity as its currency, acquisition has become the high art of the acontextual.
