Public Seminar has the article China’s Return to Global Dominance.

When future historians look back on our discordant times, they will surely report an epochal shift of global importance: a transition from failed attempts to restore America’s greatness to China’s return, after two centuries of subjugation, to world pre-eminence. The writing is already on the wall, but strange prejudices, bitter disputes and conflicting predictions currently obscure the implications of such a transformation.

This article is perhaps the most well balanced analysis of China I have ever read. Every time he seemed to be bordering on going off the deep end in one direction or another, he rescued his analysis by talking about the possibilities of things working out better than the naysayers were predicting. He addressed the concerns of the naysayers without dismissing their concerns. The biggest advantage of the analysis is to admit what is unknown about the future.

YouTube has the Lucas Kunce Interview. This is only the first half of the interview.

Krystal and Saagar are joined by former Marine Lucas Kunce to go through all of the lies told about the war in Afghanistan and more.

I am going to embed the full uncut episode. I am probably not supposed to do this, but since nobody reads this blog, it is probably a safe thing for me to do. The link below the embedded video will take you directly to the interview which starts at 1:18:48 in the embedded video.

Here is a link to go to just the Lucas Kunce Extended Interview: 1:18:48 – 1:52:46.

Lucas Kunce is connected to the America Economic Liberties Project. On the page about the problem there is a section discussing the solution.

Securing economic liberty for everyone in America means empowering consumers, workers, and communities and freeing them from discrimination, extortion, and abuse from unchecked monopolies and predatory finance. It means ensuring entrepreneurs and businesses are able to succeed on the merits of their ideas and hard work. And it means broadly distributing wealth and market power to promote equitable political power and safeguard American democracy.

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution or single bill to pass to guarantee economic liberty for all. Instead, our democratic institutions must aggressively and vigilantly wield a suite of powerful policy tools — like aggressive corporate oversight, antitrust enforcement, anti-corruption measures, financial regulation, international trade arrangements, and a reinvigorated administrative state — to challenge monopolies’ dominance over our economy and democracy. It is up to us — as consumers, workers, business people, and citizens — to make sure that they do.
