have you read @yanisvaroufakis' global minotaur?
just finished zeihan’s ‘accidental super power.’ the geographic essentialism was reductive, and far too dismissive of culture and politics. but stuff on bretton woods was riveting. what happens when america brings its military home? globalism is over.pic.twitter.com/cv3RXPsxeX

Zeihan has a refreshing amount of pragmatism that often gets lost in cultural discussions. It seems the thrust of his book explores the "needs" vs. "wants" of political dynamics. Although to your point, he defines "culture" as a derivative of geopolitics.pic.twitter.com/fY9snMZHjm

Such a good one. Neil Fergusson’s “Empire” and “Colossus” pairs extremely well it. Especially Empire- a positive history of the British Empire, segues into the UK / US handoff.

His ideas are interesting but as much as I like his real-real-politik approach I think the thesis lacks a mechanism for moving from status quo to lord of the flieshttps://twitter.com/gbrl_dick/status/1115891630710624256?s=21 …

Everybody worrying about end of globalism in an increasingly globalised world is like worrying about lack of access to information in age of Internet. Also, many books keep assuming younger generations will act same way as older ones which is also untrue
