Episode notes

This chapter explores the potential for global conflict, specifically a limited-war scenario between the U.S. and China, with an emphasis on Taiwan's challenging political landscape. It examines the historical patterns of political centralization and fragmentation among empires, reflecting on current global dynamics and the sustainability of power among major nations. The discussion also contemplates the future implications of nationalism and populism in the context of globalization, particularly in relation to emerging governance structures.

This week on Live Players, Samo Burja and Erik Torenberg debate the merit and harms of globalization. They explore the implications of Peter Thiel's views on globalization potentially hindering innovation, and analyze the historical context and current impacts of globalization on innovation, trade, and political stability. They also discuss the resilience and adaptability of different economic policies, the role of regional industries, and the influence of technological advancements on global power dynamics.
