Using the word "peak" to describe anything with a social component is nonsense, essentially soothsaying. The term 'peak oil' at least is rooted in empirical analysis of consumption and production of a tangible resource. But 'peak capitalism' or 'peak homogenization' are both far too presumptuous to have real meaning. The truth is we have no idea how much further these things will go. Ten years ago some of my friends were telling me we were at peak capitalism. If that was the peak 10 years ago, then what are we at now? The trends they claim were peaking 10 years ago have only continued, they didn't peak. You can't read the future, so you can't pinpoint this sort of peak except in retrospect.

If you think 'something's GOT to give' you might be right, but when? When is anybody's guess.
