Top Reddit reviews mentioning Globalization books:
This is true, no one comes close to Americans Military abilities. However, I would highly recommend this book, https://www.amazon.com/Kill-Chain-Defending-America-High-Tech/dp/031653353X
It's written by John McCain's former military advisor and it does an excellent critique of America's relative military capabilities. It's totally shocking and a wakeup call.
Perhaps a "clean sheet" fighter to fit the "low" side of the "high-low mix" is code for UAV fighters. Having read Christian Brose's "The Kill Chain: Defending America in the Future of High-Tech Warfare", I think that sounds like a great idea.
Most of us here expect oil production to peak soon/already, but people still keep posting articles about the details of how/when that's happening.
Same thing with demand destruction, it's interesting to talk about how it may collapse. Zeihan details how different regions of the world will collapse at different rates and why.
I'm not saying people here didn't see this coming or this is all original, it's just interesting to me to see different takes on how it all falls down.
Zeihan wrote a book called, The End of the World Is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization.
Because the crime was bullshit most likely, the us depuis of justice has an history of using bogus corruption accusation to extort money to competitors of american compagnies.

Read this if you have a chance
>Marxism is dogma, a religious belief that has no empirical evidence whatsoever to sustain such propositions.
So just so I can get this straight, lets go through a series of questions:
You don't believe in extraction of surplus value?
You don't believe in unequal exchange between imperial core and periphery?You don't believe that in Capitalism wealth accumulates into the upper echelon?
You don't believe that workers are exploited for labor by a class that, by and large, are born into it or get incredibly lucky?
You don't believe in Democratic economic systems that would benefit a super-majority of the human population?
You don't believe that free markets encourage profitability over human wellbeing?
Because all of the above can be empirically derived and/or examples shown to you. Future socialists such as Lenin delve deeper into such issues, with *Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism* being filled with such examples. Not that you have to look that far back in history, as all that was just asked can also be demonstrated in the 21st century by Western foreign policy. If you want to come at a Socialist with "You Don't have theory", you better back that shit up, because its beyond clear that we do, you just don't care to listen to it. We have demonstrable evidence of the horrors within the global network of capital, and want to discuss/provide solutions to it. It is not Utopian, it is an inevitable "check" on the powers at be.
Austrian free-market policies aren't implemented because they blow up in the face of everyone who attempts to do so. You should read this book, written by a Capitalist by the way, which delves into why such policies are poor. Real world examples such as Pinochet in Chile could also be used. I would suggest reading *The Shock Doctrine* if interested.
>The US has no record of opposing EU expansion
Reminds of the Alstom case and the book The American Trap: My battle to expose America's secret economic war against the rest of the world

Great book on the subject. That lays out the situation in China in the coming decades. It’s going to be a hard and fast fall.
Die USA sind von den genannten dreien die einzigen, die einen aufstrebenden Wettbewerber mit allen Mitteln zerstören werden. Wolfowitz-Doktrin, kann man im konkreten Beispiel schön nachlesen bei Pierucci's American Trap.
Bezweifel ich um ehrlich zu sein. Der zivilisatorische Höhepunkt wurde zumindest in Europa und Asien erreicht. Der Trend geht zur Deglobalisierung und Überalterung, sodass die Wirtschaft ineffizienter wird und heutige Zukunftsvisionen eher Utopien gleichen

First, profits are almost never more than about 5% of total revenue.
Second, corporate taxation is a double tax (since capital gains are already taxes). This reduces the incentive to invest and thus limits economic growth. Economic growth is a moral imperative
Let's talk system theory and spontaneous orders and negative feedback loops.
Hayek is insane if he didn't realize that capitalism innately creates inequality. And that inequality is a negative feedback loop in the capitalist system that will likely bring it down. If he understand systems and ignores this obvious fact he is an idiot, if he understood it and purposely didn't talk about it he is an asshole. There are so many systemic contradictions that he conveniently overlooks to help his formulation. When studied in depth it's hard to swallow as I used to believe in him myself
There are many good books on it but I def recommend.
https://www.amazon.com/Globalists-End-Empire-Birth-Neoliberalism/dp/0674979524
If you're interested in this topic. This book discusses it at link. The global population catastrophe has already doomed certain countries to obsolescence and massive famine and economic collapse in the coming decades.
The current collapse of Sri Lanka coming in the pending one of Pakistan and many more to come are just the beginning, as they run out of young workers and consumers (like South Korea now and in a few more years China,) can no longer import the energy they need (China again, among others), are utterly dependent on the global trade network (that the US Navy has protected since WWII) that could collapse at any time, or live in places that have vastly outgrown their geographic areas ability to support the population that is now there (take your pick in the Middle East).
Massive starvation and immigration crises we're going to mark the next couple of decades at least. It's not going to be bad everywhere, as there are the lottery winners of the world that have the ability to produce and grow in manufacture everything they need... for the rest, well just watch the news as it plays out.
I believe it was a chapter in "The End of the World is Just Beginning - Mapping the Collapse of Globalization" by Peter Zeihan, I listen to a lot of audiobooks in the car, so I might be wrong on which book.
Read this book:
https://www.amazon.com/Chinas-Great-Wall-Debt-Massive/dp/1328846016
Idk what previous arguments were, but China’s current economic system cannot be sustained. It’s totally built on fake demand and government issued debt.
If anybody wants to understand why China’s economy and perhaps even national stability is completely fucked in the long run, I recommend this book
https://www.amazon.com/Chinas-Great-Wall-Debt-Massive/dp/1328846016
Tying up all your capital and debt in housing with insufficient demand it turns out is not a good idea
Boljsa je konkretno za nas. Ker imamo od americanov vec kruha kot od rusov. Mogoce kot predlog za poglobitev v razumevanje sveta danes: https://www.amazon.com/End-World-Just-Beginning-Globalization/dp/006323047X
> all Americans irrespective of their origin country should support America in its geopolitical pursuit. This concept is universal. You support your country no matter what!
So americans should support military aid to pakistans war with india? support the war in Afghanistan? War in Iraq? War in yemen? War in syria? Support stealing companies by force? Support the Vietnam War? Support the kuwait war? Support the native American genocide? Support the Mexican cession? Support the Iranian coup? Guatemalan coup? Congolese coup? Chilean coup? Nicaraguan coup? Honduran coup? Haitian coup? El Salvadoran coup? Bolivian coup?
Just because we don't want china's to be America's next victim, doesn't mean we support the PRC over America.
She will go because we need to reassure them and we will need their help. China will rattle as they always do.
Also an interesting read: https://www.amazon.com/End-World-Just-Beginning-Globalization/dp/006323047X?ref_=d6k_applink_bb_dls&dplnkId=143f7d37-f188-4150-be82-e9a1d850322d
You should check out the book The End of the World is Just the Beginning, which is all about this. It paints a pretty bleak future for a lot of the world due to demographic decline. You can decide for yourself how much of it to take at face value, but it addresses this question directly.
> if I’m writing to 15 year old angsty European kids
Dude said something like "NATO is the imperialist shield" which is cartoonishly stupid a la some rocky and bullwinkle bit. It's at this point my eyes rolled so hard I could see my own brainstem. That and the apparent belief that NATO is somehow meaningfully separate from America (perhaps de jure it is, but de facto it's utterly pointless to imagine its existence w/o the US).
Anyway I appreciated your perspective (thank you for your service btw, my dad was also a Cpt stationed for a time in Germany). I don't think you or he are unduly apologetic about all of Americas "issues". But even if you're hypercritical of America, it's an obvious fact that its naval hegemony sustains world trade, that American money rebuilt Europe (in a certain sense unfairly), etc. But reddit (like any good democracy) rewards emotive blathering over substantive exchange.
Tangential to some of these themes, you might enjoy this book: https://www.amazon.com/End-World-Just-Beginning-Globalization/dp/006323047X
According to some current theorists, this isn't really a problem. Maybe even the opposite (in a globalized economy). Seems western nations are on a decline; which isn't altogether bad?

Geostrategist Peter Zeihan holds that this is all a symptom of global systems failing under global problems.
Howe and Strauss say this is an inevitable consequence of the passing of the last generation with firsthand experiencence of Great Power War
An excellent book that just came out on this subject:
https://www.amazon.com/End-World-Just-Beginning-Globalization/dp/006323047X
It's too much to explain in a Reddit post but the gist of it is that world's population demographics are collapsing, the world's governments are becoming far too 'populistic' and no one has the desire to play along by the rules of globalism established after the 2nd World War.
As others have said, with an unbalanced number of those on the older end of the scale.
Globalization was in decline pre-Covid put a dagger through the heart of it.
The supposed rise of China we've heard about since the 80-90's is going to be the absolute inverse, the collapse of China as their population bomb detonates (too few working age people), their zombie industries perpetually kept afloat by printing Yuan 5 to 1 over what the US has printed dollars, and more.
Good Read: The End of the World Is Just the Beginning by Peter Zeihan

>~~Your~~ Washington post's article ~~relates~~ is about grand jury transcripts and it also mentions national security
My mother did an LLD regarding the US legal system and its intricacies unknown to most. Ninety-nine percent of what she discovered was unknown even to most American lawyers.
If you want to learn more, read this book: https://www.amazon.com/American-Trap-Americas-economic-against/dp/1529326869
Get ready to have your mind blown away..... Frédéric Pierucci now consults on what he has learned first hand during his involuntary "stay" at a high-security US prison. If I hadn't lived through my mom's four year research about the US legal system, I would have NOT believed a word in Mr. Pierucci's book.
I still remember the Japanese flip phone I imported back in 2006 or so could send emoji--but it was useless to me since I was in the US and none of the phones here were capable of receiving them. Then, when I got an iPhone 3G the only way to unlock emoji was by installing the Japanese language pack. But that was still a time when only a few people had smart phones and only other iPhone users would be able to receive emoji texts. It wasn't until a few years later that emoji became completely widespread.
I think it's fascinating how much of manga/anime visual convention, such as the sweat drop, the >< eyes and other random things have now become part of the world's lexicon.
There's a Japanology Plus episode on emoji that is very interesting to watch. Also, I highly recommend Matt Alt's book Pure Invention which goes into detail about how things like social media, texting culture and emoji were pioneered in Japan (predominantly by schoolgirls) almost a decade before they became big here.
I’m currently reading this book and can’t recommend it enough:
https://www.amazon.com/Culture-Hacks-Deciphering-Differences-American/dp/1544503148
As an American learning Mandarin and wanting to understand more about Eastern culture and behavior it’s fascinating. I think it will give you a deeper insight into this since the author covers it.
