This is a must-read if you want a broad view of the current global political trends and their antecedents.
Read it with due consideration of the double game being played - an essay that talks about political systems with barely a hint of economics is likely incomplete or deliberately obscure; this story takes the goodness of unfettered capitalism (classical liberalism) for granted.
