Now In Disarray, 20th Century’s Winning Nations Flail And Fail. So Who Are The Next Winners?

IDEAS Posted: July 15, 2020 3:01 pm

“As a general insurrection erupts against America’s foundational inequities, and a British national identity propped up by fantasies of empire finally splinters, it isn’t enough to lament the ‘authoritarian populism’ of Trump and Johnson, to blame ‘identity politics’ and the ‘intolerant left’, or to claim moral superiority over China, Russia and Iran. The early winners of modern history now seem to be its biggest losers, with their delegitimised political systems, grotesquely distorted economies and shattered social contracts.” – London Review of Books
