1860 QING DYNASTYReforming Globalization to Avoid ConflictJake Werner of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, writing in The Nation, discusses US-China trade relations following Xi Jinping's Washington visit. Werner traces how 1990s free-market globalization through the WTO, IMF, and World Bank enriched multinational corporations while exploiting developing nations. However, China leveraged its strong state and market scale to demand technology transfers and intellectual property sharing. Rising American grievances over IP theft, paired with Chinese fears of the middle-income trap, created mutual resentment. Werner advocates reforming the global economy by raising wages, providing public goods, absorbing overcapacity, and engaging China as an equal peer. (1)

#Localization #Globalization #ServiceNow #AI A translation can be word-for-word accurate and still be completely wrong. In this episode, Bobby Brill sits down with Sam Smyth, Product Manager on the globalization side at ServiceNow, to get into what happens after you decide to go multilingual — the tools, the governance, and the quiet work nobody sees until it breaks. Sam spent fifteen years in localization operations and management before joining ServiceNow, and he's blunt about what actually goes wrong: it's rarely the translator. It's the content you sent them. We get into Localization Workspace, the new globalization agent that builds a glossary from your knowledge articles in minutes, why every customer still insists on a human in the loop, and the one mistake that will break your product UI in six languages at once.

Upthinking Finance™ is now trademarkedThis episode is my reflection on nearly four decades in the financial services industry. I want to share some of the most important lessons I've learned—from portfolio management missteps and tax planning pitfalls, to the value of flexibility, liquidity, and real client relationships. Over the past four decades, the financial industry has evolved enormously, and these days, experience and adaptability matter when you're building a practice rooted in trust and personal connection may outshine growth-at-all-costs strategies.You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...05:08 Reallocating investments to manage risk07:47 Understanding alternative investments risks12:10 Embracing trend following strategies13:47 Discovering niche management firms22:49 Discussing real-life financial planning25:28 Working with outside consultants28:43 Navigating financial crises together32:08 Connecting with industry influencers36:51 Investment strategies and risksThe Perils of Letting Taxes Guide Every DecisionTax efficiency matters in any sound financial plan, but letting tax consequences drive every decision can backfire. Complex strategies like irrevocable life insurance trusts (ILITs) and Roth IRA conversions, which, while once advantageous, have later become obsolete or even detrimental due to shifting laws or unforeseeable changes.Overemphasis on avoiding taxes—such as refusing to rebalance a portfolio for fear of triggering capital gains—can leave clients worse off if market conditions change unexpectedly. Prioritize flexibility and liquidity over the lure of perfect tax avoidance. Sometimes, a slightly higher tax bill is a small price to pay for maintaining the ability to adapt to life's unpredictables.The Cost of Inflexible InvestmentsLocking up assets in illiquid programs—such as certain private credit products or non-listed REITs—may offer the promise of higher returns or tax benefits, but they come at the cost of flexibility when life throws a curveball. Divorce, illness, or sudden opportunities can necessitate access to funds that are tied up, sometimes indefinitely. Thus, every investment should be scrutinized not just for its upside, but for the accessibility of capital when it's truly needed.Personalization Over CommodityThe financial advice industry has trended towards commoditization, driven by “best practices” that prioritize scalability and efficiency—sometimes at the expense of individual client needs. Model portfolios and standardized 60/40 allocations are the norm, but genuine client stewardship demands adaptation.When the era of falling interest rates ended with COVID, clinging to traditional approaches was no longer sufficient. Embracing novel strategies like trend following, sector specialization, and niche asset managers became essential—even if it meant difficult conversations with clients when results diverged from mainstream indexes.Goal-Setting Beyond the NumbersEvery client's vision for retirement or financial independence is unique. Strict guidelines about withdrawal rates or “prudent” spending cannot replace honest dialogue about trade-offs and what living fully means for each person. Sometimes, sticking too closely to conventional wisdom leads to clients being told their dreams are inadvisable and even being dismissed by their advisors. For a firm dedicated to helping clients realize their aspirations, defining clear, personal goals is paramount—performance for its own sake is insufficient motivation.Relationships Over RevenueOnce someone entrusts their financial life to the firm, they're owed the same commitment and care as anyone else. The real value of advice lies in partnership and stewardship, not in how much revenue the client generates. I credit providence, prayer, and being open to unexpected opportunities for the most meaningful developments in this practice—from meeting the right business partner to forming lifelong friendships with clients. Genuine relationships, openness to new ideas, and a commitment to serving each client uniquely are more valuable—and more rewarding—than any short-term gain or industry accolade.Securities and Advisory services offered through LPL Financial.

What is next for trade, tariffs and AI after Presidents Trump and Xi met at the White House? We examine what was agreed, whether tensions between the world's two biggest economies are easing, and what it could mean for technology, business and global trade.

Two people can look at the very same trade deal, the same tariff, the same wave of globalization, and walk away with opposite conclusions about who's winning and who's losing. Anthea Roberts, professor at the Australian National University and one of the world's leading scholars of global governance, has spent her career studying exactly why: not who's right, but why we're all arguing from such different stories in the first place. Her book, Six Faces of Globalization, argues that most of our fights over trade and technology aren't really about the facts; they're about six competing stories, and most of us are only fluent in one. We go through all six: establishment, left- and right-wing populist, corporate power, geoeconomic, and global threats. We talk about Australia's own trust dilemma, caught between the country that protects it and the country that pays its bills. And we end somewhere unexpected: whether artificial intelligence can actually help us disagree better, or make us more set in our ways.

Supply chains are facing pressure from every direction, from inflation and shifting consumer behavior to climate-driven disruption and rapidly evolving AI capabilities. For leaders, the challenge isn't simply keeping up. It's figuring out where to focus, how to make faster and better decisions, and how to turn emerging technology into measurable business value.In this episode of The Buzz, powered by MFG.inc, Scott Luton and special guest co-host Tanzil Uddin with Manifest are joined by Dheera Anand, Partner at Bain & Company, to unpack some of the biggest forces shaping supply chain today. They explore the latest challenges at the Panama Canal, changing consumer behavior, and lessons in regional resilience from APAC before diving deep into AI and supply chain transformation.Dheera shares practical examples of how organizations are moving beyond AI experimentation and “pilot fatigue” to create real operational value. The conversation also explores high-frequency decision-making, the importance of choosing the right AI applications, and how AI could reshape integrated business planning through faster scenario planning, continuous monitoring, and an “always-on” approach to IBP. Key TakeawaysPredictability and visibility are critical to resilience. Disruptions such as those affecting the Panama Canal demonstrate why companies need to understand their exposure throughout the supply network, not just at tier one.Consumers are still spending, but they're becoming more value-conscious. Retailers need greater precision around inventory, working capital, automation, and productivity as economic pressures continue.AI's greatest value may be in high-frequency decisions. Thousands of small operational decisions can create significant value leakage when humans simply don't have the capacity to address them all in real time.Moving beyond AI pilot fatigue requires better use-case selection. Leaders should consider data availability, decision frequency, variability, and the consequences of error when determining where AI can deliver scalable value.World-class IBP is a decision process—not a reporting process. Effective IBP should drive decisions, trade-offs, scenario planning, and preparation for what happens when the plan changes.AI could make IBP increasingly “always on.” Faster scenario modeling, automated assumption monitoring, and early-warning signals could move organizations beyond the traditional monthly planning cadence.Not all complexity creates value. Organizations need greater visibility and governance to distinguish complexity that customers value from complexity that adds cost without meaningful return. Supply chain leaders don't need more technology experiments; they need practical ways to turn technology, data, and planning into better decisions. Tune in to hear Scott, Tanzil, and Dheera explore how leaders can move beyond AI pilots, strengthen resilience, rethink IBP, and build supply chains that are better equipped to compete in an increasingly complex environment.

Our guest today is Jim Ellis, Dean Emeritus at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business. You may know him better as one third of our triumvirate of Deans Counsel hosts.Jim took a somewhat unusual path into higher education. Before joining USC, he spent nearly three decades in business as an entrepreneur and business leader, including serving as President and CEO of Porsche Design's U.S. operations. He later joined the faculty at USC, where he became a highly regarded professor of marketing, served as Vice Provost for Globalization, and ultimately spent twelve years, from 2007 to 2019, as Dean of the Marshall School, transforming that business school in so many ways. His impact was profound and today, he continues to lend his advice both to USC and to Marshall. That experience is at the heart of his new book, A Journey of Insights: Lessons in Leadership and Legacy, which brings together lessons gathered over more than five decades in business and higher education. A central idea in the book is deceptively simple: some of the most important lessons in leadership come not from talking, but from carefully and thoughtfully listening.  In our conversation, Jim reflects on his 12 years of service in higher education, and lends his insights into the skills and techniques that helped him chart a positive course for USC, including:• The art of active listening • The importance of emotional awareness • Making decisions, often while operating with imperfect information • His approach to philanthropy • Building a story to deliver a key messageLearn more about Jim Ellis.Jim's book, A Journey of Insights: Lessons in Leadership and Legacy, is published by Simon & Schuster and available now.

Supply chains used to be built primarily around cost and efficiency. Abe Eshkenazi says that era is over. Today's leaders have to balance AI, resilience, geopolitical risk, talent, cybersecurity, and a level of disruption that makes predicting what comes next nearly impossible. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton speaks with Abe Eshkenazi, CEO at the Association for Supply Chain Management (ASCM), about how the supply chain profession is changing. From what organizations need to get right before scaling AI, to the reshaping of globalization, the growing importance of optionality, and the evolution of the chief supply chain officer into an enterprise strategist, Abe breaks down the forces redefining supply chain leadership. Abe explains why AI success depends less on the technology itself and more on data, talent, governance, and strong processes; why globalization is not disappearing but being redrawn around resilience and regionalization; and why supply chain leaders can no longer focus solely on operations. He also shares how ASCM is preparing professionals for jobs that do not yet exist, what leaders can expect from CHAINge 2026, and why his book, “The Chain: Links That Bind Us”, starts the supply chain story with the consumer rather than the factory.

CAPTION 1912 FIRST FLIGHT CARACASEnd Of Globalization Alters SovereigntyGregory Copley covers global structural changes, discussing the Kushner-Witkoff Kremlin mission and the fracturing of traditional alliances, including US-Canada trade disputes over tariffs. He highlights that Volodymyr Zelenskyyopposes a negotiated Ukraine peace deal because ending the conflict would likely trigger his political removal. Furthermore, Copley observes the decline of globalization and a return to nationalism. Driven by new manufacturing technologies like 3D printing and advanced drone platforms, countries such as Australia and Japan are building sovereign aerospace industries to reduce dependence on foreign powers. Finally, he shares brief updates on King Charles III and Prince George's enrollment at Eton. (5)

Leaders from across the gaming and localization industry come together to move beyond the debate over whether AI is simply “good” or “bad” for games. We will explore where AI can deliver real value in game localization, why generic AI tools often fall short, and what it takes to build technology around the unique worlds, characters, terminology, and creative intent of a game.

In this episode of The Neoliberal Round Podcast, host Renaldo McKenzie examines the growing environmental justice battle between Philadelphia and neighboring Chester, Pennsylvania, where a significant share of Philadelphia's municipal waste is sent to be burned at the Reworld/Covanta incinerator.After years of protests, public testimony, and appeals to Philadelphia officials, Chester environmental justice advocates are now taking their message directly to Philadelphia residents, urging them to contact City Council, oppose a new waste contract with Reworld, and support the Stop Trashing Our Air Act.The controversy raises a deeper question: Can Philadelphia call itself “clean and green” while exporting the environmental consequences of its consumption to a predominantly Black neighboring community?Renaldo explores the claims surrounding pollution and public health, Chester's decades-long environmental justice struggle, Reworld's response, the politics surrounding Philadelphia's waste contracts, and the larger questions of race, class, power, and environmental inequality.As Philadelphia City Council prepares to confront the future of the city's waste disposal, Chester residents are asking Philadelphians to stand with them.The trash may leave Philadelphia—but the consequences do not simply disappear.

Renaldo McKenzie, Content Chief at The Neoliberal, reports on his interview with John Anthony Castro, a 2024 US GOP Presidential Candidate who is now a political prisoner after suing Donald Trump for violating Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. His lawsuit and candidacy were upended due to the indictment and subsequent imprisonment. Renaldo spoke with John Monday afternoon, which was published as an article in The Neoliberal Journals at theneoliberal.com and The Neoliberal Post at renaldocmckenzie.com.There is also the actual interview available on the podcast and YouTube Channel entitled: BREAKING NEWS: JOHN A CASTRO SPEAKS FROM FEDERAL PRISON ABOUT HIS LATEST LEGAL BATTLE FOR FREEDOMHere is an excerpt of the commentary:There has been a significant new development in John Anthony Castro's fight for freedom.On Friday, the U.S. On Friday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit withdrew its previous opinion. It granted rehearing in John Castro's federal case. Castro argues the move validates serious legal deficiencies he identified in the appellate court's original reasoning.But by Monday, August 17, 2026, the situation had shifted again.Rather than granting John Castro the relief he believes should follow from problems with the original opinion, the panel issued a revised opinion that attempts to preserve the result while changing portions of its reasoning.In our latest conversation with John Castro, the former Republican presidential candidate described the extraordinary sequence of events and explained why he believes the substituted opinion creates new legal problems rather than resolving the old ones.The central dispute concerns a sentencing enhancement imposed on Castro for allegedly exercising a leadership role in criminal activity.According to Castro, the Fifth Circuit's original opinion reasoned that the leadership enhancement could stand without a finding that another person was criminally responsible.John Castro attacked that reasoning in his petition for rehearing.His argument was strikingly simple: How can someone legally be considered the leader of criminal activity if the government and the district court never established that another criminally responsible participant whom he led existed?As Castro summarized the problem during our interview, the original reasoning effectively made him:“a leader of no one.”Then came Friday's dramatic development.The panel withdrew its opinion and granted rehearing.For Castro, the withdrawal was an important acknowledgment that something was seriously wrong with the original decision. It is important, however, to distinguish withdrawing or replacing an opinion from a judicial admission that the court was legally “wrong” on every disputed issue. The precise meaning of Friday's order must ultimately be determined from the language of the court's order itself.What happened next is where the controversy deepened.By Monday, August 17, the Fifth Circuit had issued a substituted opinion.Castro argues that instead of correcting the underlying problem, the panel attempted to strengthen—or, in his words, “beef up”—its reasoning by adding a new rationale.According to Castro's description of the substituted opinion, the panel now reasons that, based upon the record as a whole, it was plausible that at least one other person was involved or criminally responsible.But Castro says that creates an entirely different constitutional and appellate problem:Where did that factual finding come from?Castro argues that the district court never expressly made the finding upon which the appellate panel now relies.From Withdrawal to a Substituted Opinion: By Monday, the Court Had Changed Its ReasoningSubscribe on any stream.

It feels like we're stuck in an endless debate about what AI is going to mean for jobs and the economy. The prediction you hear from the people closest to the technology — both its critics and its boosters — is that mass automation is coming, and with it mass unemployment. In response, some AI CEOs are promising a post-labor Golden Age of abundance and universal high income. But you also hear from some techno-optimists and economists that AI will create more jobs than it destroys and that society's fears are unjustified. When these arguments are traded back and forth, no one can know what's actually true, and nothing happens. And caught in the middle of this debate are actual workers trying to figure out what this means for their family and themselves, or whether their kids should go to college. And as long as that debate stays alive, nobody plans or takes action ahead of what's coming. So this week on Your Undivided Attention, rather than continuing to referee this debate, we follow the incentives and show you where they're actually taking us in the very near future. Our guest, economist Molly Kinder, argues that we're entering what she calls the “messy middle”: a period of concentrated and uneven workforce disruption. She has evidence-based arguments about where, specifically, AI will affect the labor force, what the second and third-order consequences of those effects might be, and what we need to do today to protect people's livelihoods. Molly recently left her position as a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution to become the founding CEO of a new organization dedicated to addressing AI's impact on jobs. Her Substack, Kinder Futures: Dispatches on AI, Work & What Comes Next, features some of the clearest-eyed analysis of AI's impact on the economy.RECOMMENDED MEDIA Kinder Futures: Dispatches on AI, Work & What Comes Next (Molly's Substack) Molly's blog posts at Brookings The Yale Budget Lab's AI Labor Market Tracker RECOMMENDED YUA EPISODES AI and the Future of Work: What You Need to Know Is AI Productivity Worth Our Humanity? with Prof. Michael Sandel AI and Jobs: How to Make AI Work With Us, Not Against Us with Daron Acemoglu   Corrections Molly incorrectly referred to cuts to “Medicare for the neediest populations.” The cuts she describes are to Medicaid.

Adding languages is the easy part. Keeping quality stable while your company grows fast, your release cadence accelerates, and AI changes the product surface every week is where globalization teams earn their keep.In this episode, we sit down with Cristina Núñez, Senior Manager of Globalization at ŌURA, to unpack how a small localization team supports global product launches across 21 languages without simply hiring its way out of the problem. We talk about the shift from “startup knowledge in people's heads” to a scalable localization operating model built on documentation, clear workflows, stronger handoffs, predictable planning, and systems that can carry the load. 

What does soccer have to do with Zionism? More than you might think. Today, competitive sports feel like an obvious part of Israeli culture. But when Zionism was taking shape in the early 20th century, sports were anything but obvious. Many Zionists actually preferred gymnastics, believing it would build a healthier, more disciplined—and more ideal—Jew. So how did competitive sports win out? In this fascinating episode, Dr Ofer Idels, fellow in Israel Studies at the University of Calgary, takes us back to interwar Palestine, when Jews were debating what kind of bodies, citizens, and society they wanted to create. Along the way, we discover how sports became entangled with nationalism, Hebrew culture, masculinity, capitalism, the British Empire—and the very idea of what it meant to be a "new Jew." And here's the intriguing part: Idels argues that even something as seemingly apolitical as sport can reveal the ideology shaping a society. Read more in his book, Embodying the Revolution: The Hebrew Experience and the Globalization of Modern Sports in Interwar Palestine.

Episode Summary We discuss the shift from left-right politics toward individualism versus collectivism, the limits of postmodernism, and the idea that modern culture is entering a new "metamodern" or quantum era. The conversation ranges across activism, truth-testing, cognitive systems, Canada's political identity, and Michael's vision for a more sovereign, self-reliant future. Now based in Toronto, Adamson continues to produce ambitious, materially committed paintings that speak directly to the current cultural hunger for authenticity, optimism, and human presence in a digitally saturated age...

Recorded at the PSE-CEPR Policy Forum 2026.A country wants a stable exchange rate, it wants money to move freely across its borders, and it wants to set its own interest rates. It's a well-known trilemma. Central bankers must pick any two, because you cannot have all three. History, it turns out, did not read that memo.Eric Monnet has spent years reading the balance sheets that central bankers kept on each other. Since 1891 the Bank of France paid teams of multilingual economists to copy out the weekly and monthly accounts of every other central bank in the world. Those ledgers, now digitised, show that central banks have been far more than interest-rate setters. For more than a century they have quietly expanded their balance sheets to cushion their economies against shocks arriving from abroad. In this week's VoxTalk, Monnet argues we have seriously underestimated how much room to manoeuvre they have used since the 19th century.The research behind this episode:Bazot, Guillaume, Eric Monnet, and Matthias Morys. 2024. "Central Banks and the Absorption of International Shocks (1891-2019)." CEPR Discussion Paper No. 19646. (Gated.)To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, and Eric Monnet. 2026. "Absorbing shocks since 1891." VoxTalks Economics (podcast).About the guestEric Monnet is Professor at the Paris School of Economics and EHESS, and a Research Fellow at CEPR. An economic historian, his work spans central banking, the international monetary system, and the history of European financial systems across the 19th and 20th centuries. He previously worked as an economist at the Bank of France, and his book Controlling Credit examines monetary policy in postwar France.Research cited in this episodeThe Mundell trilemma. Formulated by Robert Mundell in the 1960s, the trilemma holds that an open economy cannot simultaneously maintain a fixed exchange rate, free capital movement, and an independent monetary policy; it can have any two. Mundell received the Nobel Prize in part for the idea. The global financial cycle and the dilemma. Helene Rey argues that even a floating exchange rate does not buy full monetary autonomy, because a common global financial cycle, driven by the risk appetite of large financial institutions, moves interest rates and exchange rates across countries at once. A shock in one emerging market prompts investors to demand higher compensation across others they treat as similar. The trilemma, in this view, is really a dilemma.The Bank of France archive. The research department of the Bank of France was founded to track the financial operations of foreign central banks, collecting their weekly and monthly balance sheets from 1891 onward. The dataset assembled from these records covers 23 countries, essentially every central bank in existence by the late 1930s, and combines balance-sheet data with monthly figures on industrial production, consumer prices, and stock markets.Discount loans, open market operations, and foreign exchange interventions. The specific tools have changed completely; the behaviour has not. In the 19th century central banks intervened by discounting commercial bills and holding gold or foreign deposits; today they conduct open market operations in government bonds and hold US Treasury bills. Across all these forms, the response to an external shock, expanding domestic assets to supply liquidity, has been consistent.Taming the Global Financial Cycle.

Jenn returns to discuss the spread of Quidditch through the world. We talk about some of the top teams from around the world.

French luxury brand Louis Vuitton won in court, but is it losing China? A trademark lawsuit against the Chinese tea brand Molly Tea has sparked a nationwide debate over trademark rights, cultural heritage, and brand perception. Was this simply a legal battle, or a costly strategic misstep? As Chinese consumers become more confident and culturally conscious, is the playbook for international luxury brands changing? And could this case reshape the French luxury brand's future in China? Host Tu Yun joins Jia Yuxuan, a research assistant at the Center for China and Globalization, John Gong, Professor of Economics, University of International Business and Economics, and Subramania Bhatt, the Founder and CEO of the Singapore-based marketing technology company China Trading Desk for a close look at the dispute.

For three decades, most of Wall Street has treated energy and commodities as a rounding error, or as a small slice of the portfolio rather than the physical foundation everything else runs on. But in mid-2026, with the Strait of Hormuz disrupted, tankers burning in the Red and Black Seas, and nearly half of Russia's refining capacity knocked offline, that complacency is being tested in real time. The noise around increasing crude oil prices is loud, but this week's guest argues that the signal beneath it – the decline of refined products like diesel and jet fuel – is already sounding the alarm bells of a world in crisis. In this episode, Nate is joined by Jeff Currie for a wide-boundary look at what happens when the buffers that have suppressed energy price signals for fifty years finally run dry. Using his decades of experience as a former commodity strategist at Goldman Sachs and as a current senior advisor at The Carlyle Group, Jeff walks through why the "crack spread" between crude and refined products just hit its highest level in three decades. He also describes why draining strategic reserves is, in actuality, simply a bet that scarcity can be avoided rather than solved – in Currie's eyes, the West's refusal to admit scarcity since the 70s has left it structurally unprepared, particularly compared to China's security-driven build-out of nuclear, solar, and battery capacity. He also lays out the "Grand Bargain" underlying the postwar dollar system, wherein the U.S. protects global sea lanes in exchange for global trade running through New York. Jeff explains why a failure to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could unravel this arrangement, bringing forward consequences that would land hardest on middle-class Americans' access to credit and consumption. Is the world entering a new commodity supercycle driven by scarcity and deglobalization, or is the market going to keep shrugging off these shocks? What might it mean for ordinary people if the credit and dollar system that has funded American consumption for eighty years starts to break down? And if, as Jeff argues, we are only in "the foothills of the Himalayas," how much higher does this climb go before societies are forced to reckon with the physical limits behind the price signals? (Conversation recorded on July 23rd, 2026)   About Jeff Currie: Jeff Currie is the Chief Strategy Officer at Altis Partners. Previously, Jeff served as Chief Strategy Officer of Energy Pathways at Carlyle and currently serves as a Senior Advisor to the firm. Jeff's analysis focuses on the energy and commodity markets and the supply chain central to an energy transition. Jeff is the former Global Head of Commodities Research at Goldman Sachs, where he helped to build their commodities business. During his nearly three decades at the firm, he became one of the leading commodity market strategists on Wall Street, known for advising clients through the commodity "super cycle" of the 2000s, the shale supply shock of the 2010s, and most recently the twin shocks of the pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war.   Show Notes and More   Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. In our sample game we look at playing as Austria and aiming for a Diplomatic Victory. And our focus is on puppeting City-States, but I misunderstood and instead of making a Diplomatic Victory easier, it makes it harder. I still managed to get my Diplomatic Victory, but a Science or Domination Victory would definitely have been easier in this scenario. Playing Civilization V, Part 14 Now I am at turn 340, I just puppeted another City-State, and I have one more on the way. I have sent a large number of military units, both land and sea, to the City-States that are on Japan's border. If he tries anything now he will likely regret it. Now I am starting to build things I had not bothered with before, like Granaries and Amphitheaters. I got a couple of Great Engineers, and used them to rush build Wonders. I am nearly finished puppeting all of the City-States, and my Happiness and Income are both quite healthy. I am in such good shape I started to build the World's Fair, which I initally proposed then ignored. At this point I only have one more City-State to puppet, then I will have puppeted every City-State in the game. So it is time to put my large income to use in other ways by giving gifts to the other players. I may want to get a few more votes on my side to get over the top in the World Leader vote when it happens. On turn 357 I completed the puppeting of all of the City-States in the game. Meanwhile, I am building up my Science and building Wonders as they become available. I didn't build any in the early game because I had other priorities, but now I have a strong military, high income, and no other pressing needs. My score on the Leader Board is now double that of my nearest competitor which is still Japan. And their denunciation me of just expired with them taking no action. I used a Great Engineer to rush build the Porcelain Tower, earning me another Great Scientist, which I then used to build another Academy. At this point it is mostly a slog to the finish. Since I was so dominant and so wealthy I could afford to pursue a couple of other options just in case. One was a Science victory, which looked like a possibility, though it would be close. I had to be very focused in my Science Research. The other option was a Culture victory, and I had dominated two other empires culturally without half trying, and I was generating Great Artists, Great Musicians, and Great Writers pretty rapidly. So I built Museums, then Archeologists, and grabbed every artifact I find to stuff into the Museums. But the final Victory came when I researched Globalization. This tech allows you to get an extra vote in a World Council for every Spy you send to another empire's capital and designate as an Ambassador. I immediately sent my spies out (they had previously been in my cities doing counter-espionage since I had a tech lead). And a few turns later a vote for World Leader came up and I won. This was my first time using Maria Theresa of Austria as my leader, and it was fun, but in the end puppeting all of the City-Staters actually made it harder to win a Diplomatic victory. In other games I have played, every City-State that was an ally was an extra vote in the World Council, and I assumed that making them puppets would mean I would get that many votes. But that didn't happen. Of course, if I had read more carefully in the Civilization Wiki I would have realized this, because it says there very clearly that Austria is one of the worst Empires to pick if you are going for a Diplomatic victory. So the fact that I managed it anyway is nice. I think I actually could have done a Science victory as I had my Spaceship half-built when I won the Diplomatic Victory. But I hope this analysis of how I actually played this game will be helpful to someone else.

In part two of Lecture 8, Professor Renaldo McKenzie continues the discussions on the efficacy and completion of Caribbean Independence and Haitian freedoms in light of global capital power and new colonial structures. Discussion Points:1. Who Made the Haitian Revolution? Many textbooks emphasize: Toussaint Louverture. But Haiti's revolution was made by: Enslaved Africans Field workers Maroons Women Vodou leaders Communities Collective resistance History belongs to the people.2. Dutty Boukman Revolutionary Priest and Freedom Fighter Jamaican-born enslaved African Transported to Saint-Domingue Spiritual leader Led the famous Bois Caïman ceremony (1791)Inspired the beginning of the Haitian Revolution For many Haitians, Boukman represents African spiritual resistance. Image: Artistic depiction of Dutty Boukman 3. Cécile Fatiman The Forgotten Revolutionary Vodou priestess Remembered for: Bois Caïman ceremony Spiritual leadership African cosmology Mobilizing resistance Many European histories largely ignore her contribution.4. Jean-Jacques Dessalines Founder of Haiti Unlike Toussaint Louverture: Rejected compromise with France. Demanded complete independence. Declared Haiti independent in 1804. Regarded by many Haitians as the true founder of the nation. Freedom required complete separation from the empire. 5. Toussaint Louverture Reconsidered: C.L.R. James elevated Louverture as the central revolutionary figure. Yet Haiti's revolution was not the work of one man. It was also the work of: African spirituality Vodou Collective resistance Maroons Women Rural communities Reducing the revolution to Louverture alone risks repeating colonial habits.6. The Revolution Never Ended After independence Haiti experienced: Diplomatic isolation Economic sanctions Foreign debt Elite betrayal U.S. occupation International intervention Political instability Political independence did not guarantee sovereignty.7. Haiti in the Twenty-First Century: Pursuing independent paths have often encountered: Debt, sanctions, political pressure, regime destabilization, economic dependence, foreign intervention. Examples: Haiti, Cuba, Venezuela Jamaica9. Jamaica Under Michael Manley navigated between Capitalism and Socialism. Independence is an ongoing struggle over: Sovereignty Debt Race Identity Memory Global power Key TakeawaysHaiti transformed world history. Freedom was punished through debt.The Haitian Revolution was collective. African spirituality played a central role. Colonial narratives continue to shape Caribbean identity. Independence remains an unfinished struggle. Haiti remains central to understanding the Caribbean and global power.Recommended Readings The Black Jacobins — C. L. R.

Francis Fukuyama is the Olivier Nomellini Senior Fellow at Stanford University's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI), and a faculty member of FSI's Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law (CDDRL). He is also Director of Stanford's Ford Dorsey Master's in International Policy, and a professor (by courtesy) of Political Science. In addition he is the author of several books. His most recent titles are Liberalism and Its Discontents, Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment, and the upcoming In the Realm of the Last Man: A Memoir. Greg and Francis talk about Frank's “End of History” thesis and later work on liberalism, identity, trust, and political order. Fukuyama argues long-run historical progress is visible in the gap between developed and developing societies, but he still sees no coherent “higher” alternative to liberal democracy and market society. He also explains that modern discontent through generational forgetting of 20th-century horrors and a deeper human desire for recognition and struggle (thymos), including megalothymia - the drive for superiority, which can turn tyrannical.  They discuss how modern prosperity arose from Europe's unique mix of innovation culture, political fragmentation, religious schism, and family changes that fostered individualism. Frank contrasts state strength with constraint, and traces democracy's path through England to parliament and common law, critiques American anti-statism in state-building, and examines China vs India. They also discuss war's effects on state capacity, the internet's role in polarization and factual disagreement, and the need for shared liberal norms. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: The collapse of a shared factual basis  [47:23] Liberal societies need to tolerate viewpoint diversity, but what we're seeing goes way beyond this. This is kind of empirical, factual diversity where people don't accept the same factual basis of the nature of the world. So, you know, are vaccines safe? Well, we used to think there was consensus about that because you have this whole accepted scientific system for empirical testing of propositions like that, and for some reason now people don't trust that anymore, or, you know, who won the last election, sort of, issue. Very hard to have a democracy if you disagree about whether you had a free and fair election, right? And these, again, I think would not have existed in the pre-internet age, that kind of disagreement over just simple factual information. The absence of a higher alternative to liberal democracy  [05:18] A lot of people have lost faith in liberal democracy, but I still don't see anyone posing a real alternative of a higher society. Does the rule of law hold without shared norms? [54:46] One thing that the last few years have taught me is that, in a way, you know, we used to think there's law and there are norms, and the norms are basically more flighty and less weighty, but the law is really a big barrier to bad action. And I think we're realizing that's not true. Everything is normative. Why the drive for superiority can't simply be eliminated [12:42] It was Bob Iger or some big CEO who wanted to climb the seven highest mountains in the world, you know? So there's a lot of ways that you can demonstrate your superiority that are basically, if not socially constructive, they're at least peaceful; you know, they're not going to harm other people. But it turns out that for Donald Trump, at least that wasn't enough. And I think that's a basic problem. You want outlets for this, what I call "megalothumia." This is the desire to be recognized as superior, and basically you can't have a society without that. I mean, you're not going to have any great baseball players, musicians, you know, philosophers if you don't have people that want to be excellent at something. But that also unleashes a kind of tyrannical desire to simply dominate, and I think that's the problem we're dealing with right now.

Headline: Ancient Globalization and Volcanic Disruptions Guest: Professor Peter Frankopan Book Title: The Earth Transformed: An Untold History Frankopan explores the concept of ancient globalization, defining it through the long-range exchange of goods, ideas, and technologies between Europe, Africa, and Asia. He highlights nomadic peoples as the essential vectors who transported bronze, cereals, and livestock between cities. The conversation shifts to the profound impact of volcanic eruptions on human history. For instance, the eruption of Thera (Santorini) triggered changes in the variola virus, potentially leading to the rise of smallpox which killed millions over millennia. Another major event was the eruption of Okmok in Alaska in 43 BC. This caused global crop failures and disrupted the Nileflood, leading to famine and political instability in Egypt. These ecological pressures weakened Queen Cleopatra'sposition, allowing her rival Octavian to eventually take control of Egypt. Frankopan notes that while volcanoes do not directly cause political change, the resulting agricultural shocks create "turbulent" environments where political opportunists can transform republics into empires.

In today's lecture, we explore Caribbean history through the lens of cinema and globalization. We begin with Chapter 11 of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance by Renaldo McKenzie. This chapter examines the use of documentary films as forms of resistance and demonstrates how cinema can serve as a powerful medium for social critique and social change.The lecture centers on the documentary Life and Debt, analyzing how globalization has disproportionately affected the peoples of the Global South, particularly in the Caribbean. Students examine the contradictions and ironies of globalization, decolonization, and denationalization, while questioning whether political independence has translated into genuine economic and cultural liberation.Drawing on the works of Frantz Fanon, particularly The Wretched of the Earth; Homi K. Bhabha and The Location of Culture; and V. S. Naipaul and his literary contributions as forms of resistance and social commentary, the lecture explores the intellectual foundations of Caribbean thought and postcolonial critique.Students are introduced to and discuss key concepts including nationalism, colonialism, decolonization, postcolonialism, mise-en-scène, globalization, the Global South versus the Global North, and the ways visual storytelling can shape historical consciousness and political understanding.The lecture then transitions into a historical timeline of the Caribbean, beginning with ancient Kemet over 5,000 years ago, examining early African civilizations and pre-Columbian societies before tracing the arrival of Christopher Columbus and the profound transformations that followed. Through this historical journey, students are encouraged to rethink conventional narratives about the Caribbean and situate the region within broader global historical processes.Delivered live via Zoom, this lecture is part of the Caribbean Thought course at Jamaica Theological Seminary and reaches students across the Caribbean, the United States, Canada, and beyond. The course is taught by Professor Renaldo McKenzie, author of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance, President of The Neoliberal Corporation, and creator and host of The Neoliberal Round Podcast. Professor McKenzie delivers the lectures from Philadelphia, bringing together history, philosophy, political economy, and media studies to challenge students to critically examine the Caribbean's past, present, and future.For more information, email info@theneoliberal.com.Visit theneoliberal.com and renaldocmckenzie.com.Learn more about Jamaica Theological Seminary at https://jts.edu.jm.

Chad is joined by Peter from the Do Not Scratch Your Eyes Pod to discuss the Americanization/Globalization of the game of Football. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In Episode 90 of Trade Splaining, Ardian Mollabeqiri and Robert Skidmore are back to unpack how geopolitics, energy markets and global shipping disruptions are finding their way into the everyday economy — from oil prices and port congestion to pain au chocolat, ice cream cones and Aperol Spritzes. We start with the Strait of Hormuz, where fears of an oil price shock ran into a more complicated reality. China's role as a “swing importer,” existing oil supply gluts, demand destruction, rerouting and refinery adaptation all helped explain why markets did not quite melt down — even as the risks around energy security and logistics remain very real. Then we follow the supply chain into breakfast and dessert. Why is a pain au chocolat more expensive? Why can an ice cream cone cost $8? The answer is not one input but many — wheat, butter, cocoa, diesel, refrigeration, labour, packaging and energy all moving in uncomfortable directions at once. Globalization, it turns out, is now coming for your snack budget. This episode also features a conversation with Jan Hoffmann, Global Lead for Maritime Transport and Ports at the World Bank, on the latest Container Port Performance Index. Jan explains what the CPPI actually measures, why port rankings can get political, how rerouting through the Red Sea, Hormuz and beyond affects port performance, and why the global shipping map is changing in ways that are more about friend-shoring than near-shoring. We also get into MSC vs Maersk, port ownership, shipping line-linked terminal operators, the geopolitics of port concessions, and — naturally — Jan's ongoing haircut index and his Washington, DC kebab recommendation. Plus: Gen Z's anti-AI nostalgia, the World Cup heat dome, Bosnia's unofficial theme song, Geneva's Aperol Spritz problem, and why 320 kilos of meth is probably over the “personal use” threshold. Listen now for a trade, shipping and geopolitics episode that connects the Strait of Hormuz, China's energy leverage, port performance, global inflation and your next overpriced ice cream cone.

In this episode, Chad and John continue covering the biggest games and most surprising upsets of the World Cup. We preview a monumental game for the USMNT against Bosnia and Herzegovina, and discuss some controversies off the pitch, including inconsistent refereeing, Seattle's Pride Night, and a star player facing a serious criminal trial.00:00 John's Experience at the World Cup07:32 World Cup Fever in America12:50 Best Team So Far18:22 Would Portugal Be Better Without Ronaldo?21:30 Biggest Upset: Paraguay over Germany25:27 Game of the Tournament: Morocco and the Netherlands34:01 State of the Union: USMNT in the Round of 3236:37 Analyzing Bosnia and Herzegovina41:57 Florian Balogun and birthright citizenship at the Supreme Court44:38 Globalization of Soccer and Dual Nationalities55:11 The Rise of African Soccer59:29 Refereeing Controversies in the World Cup01:07:17 Iran leave the World Cup and Seattle's Pride Night01:13:59 Tournament Success and Do We Like the 48-Team World Cup?

Everyone evaluating a business purchase today fixates on the same thing. Can this survive AI? Wrong lens. Wrong era. Wrong way to size up a deal. Tony Xu ran product and engineering at Flippa for five years before taking over as CEO. He's sat behind the scenes of thousands of transactions, tracked which categories exploded and which quietly faded, and seen firsthand what happens once AI actually touches a working business. And he'll say something most of the doom content circulating right now won't. AI isn't hunting your business down. It's clearing out the grunt work inside it. Photo editing. Listing copy. Animation that used to demand a full production team. Rough drafts of ad creative. Tasks that used to consume a founder's entire week now take minutes. Treating that as a threat misses what it really is. A head start. But here's the part almost nobody admits out loud. Nothing essential has changed. Who you reach. What people remember about your brand. Whether your customers stick around. Claude can write your listing copy. It can't earn you a decade-long relationship that gets your product onto a shelf. It's not handling your cash flow. It's not securing your credit line. It's not the reason someone buys from you twice. The businesses pulling ahead right now aren't the ones hiding from AI. They're run by people who know precisely where its usefulness ends and the real value begins. In this episode, Jaryd talks with Tony about what's really moving inside Flippa's marketplace. Why $250K to $5M has become the sweet spot for the sharpest buyers. How specialist operators are walking into neglected businesses and multiplying category growth in a matter of months. The difference between a roll-up play and a specialist play. And why chasing "AI-proof" is precisely the wrong instinct to bring into diligence. They also break down the two warning signs that should end a deal immediately. How a buyer's own comfort with AI can cut a year-long ramp-up down to half that. And why the businesses that seem the most behind the curve might actually be the cheapest assets on the whole platform. The buyers nervous about AI aren't wrong to be paying attention. They're just tracking the wrong risk. Tony isn't.

We're joined by our longtime friend, Franklin Foer of The Atlantic! We have a deal in Iran or at least an agreement to have an agreement. Even some Republicans are calling this an unconditional surrender. Al and Frank break down the massive concessions, which include a staggering $300 billion to reconstruct Iran, lifted blockades, and Iranian tolls in the Strait of Hormuz. And what does all of this mean for Trump and Netanyahu's plummeting relationship ahead of the Israeli elections this fall?Frank also breaks down the war in Ukraine, the situation in Venezuela, and ongoing tensions with Cuba.Plus, we discuss Frank's bestselling book, “How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization.” It was recently reissued to coincide with the U.S. hosting the World Cup. Frank explains how his views of world soccer have changed since the original publishing and why globalization never brought us the "kumbaya political liberalism" we were promised.READ Franklin Foer in The Atlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/author/franklin-foer/READ Frank's book, “How Soccer Explains the World:” https://www.harpercollins.com/products/how-soccer-explains-the-world-franklin-foer 

(8) Judy Dempsey discusses the AfD party's rise in Germany, which exploits voter fear regarding globalization and deindustrialization. However, the populists lack pragmatic solutions for demographic challenges and the necessary economic reforms missed by previous leaders.
