The Changing World Order
The Changing World Order examines history’s most turbulent economic and political periods to reveal why the times ahead will likely be radically different from those we’ve experienced in our lifetimes. It puts into perspective the cycles and forces that have driven the successes and failures of all the world’s major countries throughout history. This book then reveals the timeless and universal dynamics that were behind these shifts, while also offering practical principles for policymakers, business leaders, investors, and others operating in this environment.
