Foreword

Is the West really declining or what we’re actually seeing is a rebalancing, as the East reassumes the kind of economic significance its population size demands? Western countries have only really been in the ascendant for a handful of centuries, whereas countries like China and India have been economic juggernauts for most of their long histories with China being until the 16th century the world’s dominant economy.

Before that, in 1979 Sadat, president of Egypt, had recognized for the first time a Jewish state.

Sécession du peuple ou sécession des élites?

Ce sont là les deux extrêmes du débat en cours sur la pratique et les illusions de la démocratie.

L'exemple le plus parlant de la sécession actuelle du peuple est, en France, le mouvement des "Gilets jaunes" et l'expression la plus contestée de la sécession des élites, l'émergence et l'accès au pouvoir de Macron, il "Valentino" de la Cinquième République, le "Borgia" des temps modernes.
