At the height of the cold war Von Laue wrote his most famous and critical work , "Why Lenin? Why Stalin?" He then began "to study the modernization process of the entire world, from a broadly comparative perspective, the result was "The Global City."" Written decades before the Internet, The Global City "anticipated the very themes that preoccupy so many today: the accelerating pace of change and accumulation of specialized knowledge in the modern world, the increasing integration of the globe into one complex system, and the intensity of cultural and psychological tensions that result when vastly different cultures are brought into close contact by ever-expanding technologies." ; 8vo .
