Globalization is the most extended theoretical framework of the interpretation of the present. It is a high-level theoretical generalization, and at the same time also an empirical reality anyone can experience. One of the most important and also the most difficult fields of the social-philosophical research of globalization is the continual way its functional and non-functional elements and moments are interconnected, like the cogs of a machinery. Globalization consists, on the one hand, of global functioning systems (in the more or less exact system-theoretical sense of the word). What is really global, is functional. What is really functional, is global. It is important to understand the real causal problematic in the coexistence of globalization and modern nation state. First, we should see what we mostly do not realize. We were and are living in a concrete form of the modern state which controlled almost the whole social reproduction and specially the reproduction of social capital. We must understand, it does not depend on a special historical form of the modern state. The modern etatism is a much broader phenomenon than totalitarism or welfare state. This modern etatism was based on state property and on the taxes. The whole process of history consists of a consistent line in which modern etatism step for step acquires the control over social reproduction (education, public health, etc.). It means that modern societies (in theoretical sense) reproduced themselves almost totally through the modern etatism. Globalization is not genuinely directed against modern etatism, but it changes radically the circumstances in which the modern state functions. And because the whole process of social reproduction was mediated by the modern etatism, the states are the losers in this process. They took over the responsibility for the whole social reproduction, but because of the global integration of great functional systems and markets they were no more capable of the fulfilling there responsibilities. This is the historical moment of state indebtedness of our days.
