Motivated by China's complete removal of market access restrictions for foreign investors in the manufacturing sector, executives from multinational corporations attending the seventh China International Import Expo said they will deploy more resources in the country, with a particular focus on high-end manufacturing.在中国全面取消制造业领域外资准入限制措施的推动下，参加第七届中国国际进口博览会的跨国公司高管表示，他们将在中国部署更多资源，尤其关注高端制造业。This year's CIIE, scheduled in Shanghai from Tuesday to Nov 10, will debut more than 400 new products, technologies and services across advanced sectors, including high-end equipment, advanced materials and marine engineering products, according to the Ministry of Commerce.据商务部消息，今年的中国国际进口博览会于11月5日至10日在上海举办，届时将有400多项代表性新产品、新技术、新服务将亮相，涉及高端装备、先进材料和海洋工程产品等先进领域。The latest edition of China's national negative list for foreign investment, which took effect on Friday, has removed the last two manufacturing-related restrictions, further opening the sector to global investors, according to the National Development and Reform Commission.国家发展改革委称，11月1日起施行的最新版全国外资准入负面清单删除了制造业领域仅剩的2条限制措施，进一步向全球投资者开放了该行业。Attracted by China's innovation capability, business model transformation and bilateral and multilateral free trade deals, many global manufacturers are increasingly inclined to invest in new innovation centers, expand production capacities and advance digital transformation initiatives within the country, said Sun Xiao, secretary-general of the China Chamber of International Commerce.中国国际商会秘书长孙晓表示，受中国创新能力、商业模式转型以及双边和多边自由贸易协定的吸引，许多全球制造商越来越倾向于在中国投资新的创新中心，扩大产能，并推进数字化转型计划。For China, the manufacturing industry is the earliest sector to open up to foreign investors, and it is also the most competitive, with a high level of integration with the global industrial division of labor, said Sun.孙晓指出，制造业是中国开放最早的领域，也是市场竞争最充分、全球产业分工合作最紧密的领域。Schneider Electric, a French industrial and technology group and a seven-time participant at the CIIE, will present at this year's event new concepts, products, services and applications that combine digital, automation and electrification technologies, underscoring its commitment to China through its "China Hub" strategy.施耐德电气是一家法国工业和技术集团，七次参加了中国国际进口博览会。它将在今年的展会上展示结合数字化、自动化和电气化技术的新概念、新产品、新服务和新应用，通过其“中国中心”战略强调对中国的投入。Yin Zheng, executive vice-president of Schneider Electric's China and East Asia operations, said that China has become Schneider Electric's second-largest market in the world and one of its four global research and development bases.施耐德电气执行副总裁、中国及东亚区总裁尹正表示，中国已经成为施耐德电气全球第二大市场和全球四大研发基地之一。"Through the CIIE, a world-class communication platform, we aim to continuously deepen ecosystem cooperation and work with more Chinese industrial partners to jointly build new quality productive forces," he added.“通过进博会这一世界级交流平台，我们旨在不断深化生态系统合作，与更多中国工业合作伙伴携手，共同打造新质生产力。”尹正补充道。Arthur Xu, president for China at Danfoss Group, a Danish engineering company, said that Danfoss will bring its products and solutions in the data center, water and wastewater treatment, marine, food and beverage, and heat recovery fields, among others, to the CIIE this year. These proven solutions will offer unique value for China's green transition, he said.丹麦工程公司丹佛斯中国区总裁徐阳表示，丹佛斯将携其在数据中心、水和污水处理、船舶、食品饮料、热回收等行业产品和解决方案参加今年的进博会。他表示，这些成熟的解决方案将为中国的绿色转型提供独特价值。In addition to plans to begin construction in April in Jiaxing, Zhejiang province, on its new manufacturing facility, which will be one of the biggest production sites in Danfoss' history, the company also announced in September that it has completed construction of a work campus in Nanjing, Jiangsu province.丹佛斯计划于今年4月在浙江嘉兴开工建设新的生产设施，这将是丹佛斯历史上最大的生产基地之一；此外，丹佛斯还于今年9月宣布已完成江苏南京工作园区的建设。The new campus is dedicated to the innovation and production of specialized transistor modules as well as electric and hybrid power train systems.新园区致力于专业晶体管模块以及电动和混合动力系统的创新和生产。With the structure of foreign investment continuing to be optimized, China saw the high-tech manufacturing sector use 77.12 billion yuan ($10.87 billion) in foreign direct investment in the first three quarters of 2024, accounting for 12 percent of the national total, according to the Ministry of Commerce. That is an increase of 1.5 percentage points from the same period last year.随着外商投资结构的不断优化，商务部数据显示，2024年前三季度，中国高技术制造业使用外商直接投资771.2亿元（约108.7亿美元），占全国总量的12%，比去年同期增加1.5个百分点。Tang Wenhong, assistant minister of commerce, said that China's well-developed industrial system, commitment to continued openness, and efforts to scale up high-tech manufacturing remain key drivers for foreign manufacturers' investment in the country.商务部部长助理唐文弘表示，中国发达的工业体系、持续开放的承诺以及扩大高技术制造业规模的努力，仍然是外国制造商在中国投资的主要驱动力。Nipsea Group, a Singapore-based paint and coating manufacturer, will make its debut as a participant at the CIIE this week with a 300-square-meter booth.总部位于新加坡的油漆和涂料生产商立时集团将首次参加本周举行的进博会，展位面积达300平方米。"This year, we have officially transitioned from being a witness to a participant at the CIIE, presenting our latest products and technology solutions," said Eric Chung, CEO of Nippon Paint China, a subsidiary of Nipsea Group.“今年，我们正式从进博会的见证者转变为参与者，展示我们的最新产品和技术解决方案。”立时集团子公司立邦中国区首席执行官钟中林说。"This move not only underscores our unwavering commitment to the Chinese market, but also reflects our firm determination to contribute to the high-quality development of China's economy," Chung said, adding that the company will showcase its newest automotive coatings and marine paint products at the expo.“此举不仅彰显了我们对中国市场的坚定信心，也体现了我们为中国经济高质量发展做出贡献的决心。”钟中林表示，公司将在进博会上展示其最新的汽车涂料和船舶涂料产品。debutn. 首次亮相electrificationn．电气化coatingn. 涂料，涂层high-end manufacturing高端制造业

Dr. Joe Young, Director of the University of Kentucky's Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce, discusses some of the causes of violence in the US and worldwide. Violence should never be tolerated; however, a democracy depends upon the peaceful transfer of power, which was not recognized during the illegal insurgency to overthrow the free election and US Government on January 6, 2021. Tragically, two of the major areas of extreme violence are in Gaza and Ukraine. Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine could lead to a larger international conflict if it is not neutralized. Through the support of scores of countries, NATO, and the United Nations agencies, the Ukrainians were much more resilient in confronting Russian aggression. Although the United Nations Security Council has been partially paralyzed, due to the Russian Veto, other UN agencies such as the WHO, UNICEF, and WFP are on the front lines to assist Ukrainians.

In developed nations, corporations often rollup and eat independent mom and pop shops into big box retail or big .coms that centralize supply chains and logistics. Meanwhile, independent sellers are the backbone of emerging markets. But a collision is starting to occur and it's happening fast. Big corporations want to bring the same strategy to these emerging markets, so how can the independent seller maintain their independence? To do that, they need technology partners like RedCloud. In this conversation, we learn how RedCloud sits at the forefront of the 3 key disruptions inside of emerging markets: employment, technology, and sustainability.

And another 80% need mentorship and support on how to transform their business. - Soumaya“It is one thing to give a user access to create their own visualization. It's an entirely different thing to create not just the visualization, but an interpretation of what that visualization means. - JD“When companies look at emerging markets and the lack of digitization, they think there's a reluctance to digitize and there really isn't. It's not about the adoption of technology, but the simplification of and the cost of that technology.” - JDMentions: World Bank ReportsM-Pesa in KenyaLarge Language Models (LLMS) with DialectsMarketplace Counterfeit ChallengesBook: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good LifeBios: Soumaya Hamzaoui describes herself as an Entrepreneur and Product Strategist.

Dr. Dale C. Copeland is a professor of international relations with a focus on trade, war and economic interdependence. His recent book is “A World Safe for Commerce: American Foreign Policy from the Revolution to the Rise of China.” He discusses how trade dynamics have influenced America's approach to peace and conflict throughout history. By focusing on the current geopolitical landscape, particularly with regards to China, he reflects the historical tensions and opportunities of centuries of international trade and commerce. A major challenge is the delicate balance between expanding influence for resource access and avoiding trade disruptions that could lead to armed conflict. One suggestion is to improve the overall trade expectations as a means to foster long-term peace and stability between nations, as well as comprehending interactions of globalization. Throughout history, many countries have shifted from peaceful policies to coercion and force in the pursuit of trade interests.

Dr. Farley is the author of Grounded: The Case for Abolishing the United States Air Force and Patents for Power: Intellectual Property Law and the Diffusion of Military Technology. The Ukraine and Gaza conflicts are two of most intractable problems confronting leaders of the world today. The Israeli-Hamas war in Gaza, ignited primarily due to the massacre by Hamas of mostly Israelis on October 7 has posed a major quandary for President Biden, given he is juggling U.S. support of Israel but still trying to moderate the Israeli military response, which has been criticized internationally as disproportionate. A small but vocal group of Republicans in the US Congress has temporarily derailed funding for Ukraine, which directly benefits Putin, and indirectly assists China and North Korea.

The Alibaba Group recently publicized the data from their latest earnings report. During the call, CEO Toby Xu outlined a progress update to investors stating, "We see the early success of the execution of our strategy because as we announced earlier this year, the strategy for Taobao and Tmall is user-centric. We need to build up the supply for all our consumers, particularly for the price-competitive product. This early success shows the effectiveness of our executed strategy." Contrary to their recent attention on Artificial Intelligence (AI), the predominant themes of this earnings call revolved around e-commerce, improvements in customer shopping experiences, advancements in cloud computing, and overall growth strategies. Notably, AI was not significantly addressed during this call, with no specific case studies concerning this latest earnings call being highlighted. Alibaba has continued to show a sound financial performance. As reported during the call, the company's total consolidated revenue has experienced a growth rate of 5%, climbing to RMB260.3 billion. Furthermore, their consolidated adjusted EBITDA grew by 2%, reaching RMB52.8 billion. The company maintains a substantial net cash position of RMB487 billion, reinforcing its strong financial status. A notable contributor to Alibaba's success is the implementation of a user-centric strategy and competitive pricing in the realms of Taobao and Tmall Group. These aspects have been instrumental in driving year-on-year growth in gross merchandise volume (GMV). The International Commerce initiative has also aided in revenue growth through the expansion of cross-border offerings and prominence given to improved shopping experiences. Additionally, developments in the Cainiao smart logistics network and cross-border logistics fulfillment solutions have strengthened Alibaba's performance. In cloud computing, the focus of Alibaba Cloud on public cloud services and the optimization of its business structure has yielded improved profitability. Looking at the company's future undertakings, Alibaba projects continued investment in their core areas of operations such as e-commerce and cloud computing to foster growth. They aim to launch initiatives associated with product supply, competitive pricing, efficiency, and quality service enhancement in Taobao and Tmall Group. Though the company's recent focus on AI does not tie directly with the themes of the Last Quarter Earnings Call Analysis, they are demonstrating solid financial performance, adherence to a user-centric strategy, and committed investments in essential areas. By preserving the focus on e-commerce, cloud computing, and enhancing shareholder value, and responding effectively to evolving consumer trends, Alibaba is positioning itself for long-term growth and profitability. However, this assessment is based on the current status quo and may be subject to change with evolving business and market conditions. As with any business prediction, this projection should be treated as an educated assumption, not an absolute guarantee.

Hall, Associate Professor, Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce at the University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY., USA discusses his recent book: “Examining US-China-Russia Foreign Relations: Great Power Politics in a Post-Obama Era.” He proffers that, although the Russian military has been grossly overrated, the post-Soviet Russia is still a "great power." primarily because of its nuclear missiles and the fact it is one of the 5-Permanent Members, along with the US, UK, France and China, of the UN Security Council with the potential to veto any binding resolutions. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken are calling for a détente between the West and China, to avoid a misunderstanding and possible military conflict. From a positive standpoint, the US has re-joined WHO, the Paris Climate Accord and UNESCO, is repaying arrears at the UN and is working to renew the Iranian Nuclear Deal.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 11, 2023) – Since the end of World War II, the United States, China and Russia have held a position as the three biggest players on the international stage. The relationships between these three countries dictated events on a global level through the end of the Cold War, according to many observers. However, Dr. Gregory Hall contends that this relationship didn't dissolve but actually reconfigured and adjusted to the new post-Cold War landscape of the 1990s, and actually continues even today as a feature of international politics. Hall, an Associate Professor in UK's Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce, has held appointments at institutions in both the United States and abroad, including Hong Kong and Turkey. He also helped direct the initiative to establish a peace studies program at Morehouse College, where he previously served as Head of the Department of Political Science and Director of the International Studies Program. On this episode of ‘Behind the Blue', Dr. Hall discusses his new book about this ‘strategic triangle dynamic' between the US, China and Russia, the impact that domestic policies in each country have on the bigger relationship, what both the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine can tell us about future challenges on the world scene and more.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 2, 2023) – This spring, UK is celebrating nearly 6,000 degrees conferred by the Board of Trustees, with more than 4,000 of those expected to cross the stage of Rupp Arena during commencement ceremonies. On this episode of Behind the Blue, we once again spotlight a few of those graduates to talk about their time here at UK, the memories they'll take with them, and how they're prepared to move ahead and make the most of what they've learned. Sarah Holmes, from Louisville, is an international studies major with a Spanish minor, graduating from the UK College of Arts and Sciences. During her time at UK, she served as president of the Model United Nations Club, after she and her classmates, with support of faculty in UK International Studies, worked to reestablish the organization after it shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic. Model UN is an educational experience in which students represent delegates from member states of the United Nations in a simulation of the UN General Assembly. Students work with other delegations to debate and collaborate on solutions for pressing and complex global issues surrounding topics such as conflict, poverty, climate action, gender inequality, global health and more. In addition to this, Holmes has also utilized her Spanish-speaking skills through study abroad and an internship with the non-profit Community Response Coalition of Kentucky (CRCKY), serving vulnerable populations in the Lexington community. She plans to attend the UK Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce in the fall. AJ Miller, from Jackson, Kentucky, is graduating with a degree in Russian studies and minors in criminology and international studies. During his time at UK, he was very active in international studies, residing in UK's International Village, a living learning program that supports international students, and had aspirations to study abroad in Russia, until the Russian invasion of Ukraine made that goal no longer possible. Adding to his challenges, Miller and his family were impacted by the flooding in Eastern Kentucky last year. The International Center at UK supported Miller during this difficult time, helping him navigate the hurdles set before him. He went on to eventually study abroad in Latvia and is grateful for the support he received at UK to still achieve his goal of studying abroad.

International Commerce at the University of Kentucky, discusses Vladimir Putin's myriad of motivations for illegally invading Ukraine. He emphasized the importance of the United Nations and its main organs, especially the Security Council, General Assembly and International Court of Justice, to coordinate with the European Union, NATO and other institutions and countries in promoting peace and security in Ukraine and other volatile areas of the world. It appears that there is a counter-productive campaign of misinformation and disinformation by a variety of media outlets, such as some Fox personalities, as well as former president Trump to provide credibility and legitimacy to Putin's illegal invasion. In the late spring, Dr. Hall's most recent book with be published titled, “Examining US-China-Russia Foreign Relations: Great Power Politics in a Post-Obama Era. “
Host Iain Ballantyne and guest Dr Robert Farley reconvene for another podcast chat, this time looking at the sinking of the Russian Navy cruiser Moskva. In addition to unpicking the event - for example, was the Black Sea Fleet flagship hit by Ukrainian missiles, or was she destroyed by an accidental explosion? – They assess the incident's impact on the Russian Navy's campaign. The discussion includes how the Moskva may have opened herself up to attack and other topics such as comparisons with missile attacks in the 1982 Falklands War on British warships and in the 1991 Gulf War against an American battleship off Kuwait damage control (or lack of it) aboard the Russian warship; the sheer shock to the system for a Russian Navy lacking experience in high-intensity warfare. Also, did the Moskva go down carrying nuclear weapons, creating a ‘broken arrow' incident? The arc of the wider conflict is considered. With the launch of the Kremlin's bid to conquer the Donbas is the war nearing its end? Beyond the Black Sea is a major confrontation between the NATO and Russian naval forces shaping up, with the advent of a new Battle of the Atlantic? Aspects of naval history in the Black Sea are touched upon, including the strange (but true) stories of Tsarist battleships that became capital vessels of the Bolsheviks in 1917 before ending up in surprising places (and ownership). Also discussed is the human cost of the Moskva's destruction and how the aftermath bears similarities to the tragic loss of the submarine Kursk more than 20 years ago, at the beginning of Vladimir Putin's reign as Russian leader. • Iain Ballantyne is the Editor of WARSHIPS International Fleet Review magazine.

In this episode host, Iain Ballantyne talks to Dr Robert Farley, a long-time US-based contributor to WARSHIPS IFR magazine, who currently teaches at the Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce, University of Kentucky. They begin with a survey of the Russia-Ukraine War, looking at how the West has handled a major conflict in Europe both diplomatically and military, including aspects of the struggle at sea. Iain and Rob go on to discuss the following: the practicality of a NATO No-Fly Zone; how such a move could see a clash at sea between Russia and Ukraine; the Russian-imposed Black Sea blockade of Ukraine; the prevention of wheat shipments; a possible amphibious assault on Odessa by Moscow's naval forces (and its viability). Among other things Iain and Rob talk about is how the West can best assist Ukraine if it is confronted with a long struggle. They also weigh up whether or not, beyond its current military blunders, the Kremlin has a long game. Might Vladimir Putin be playing ‘11th-dimensional chess'? In addition to touching on the continuing spectre of nuclear weapons use by Moscow, Iain and Rob discuss whether or not there are useful parallels between the 1982 Falklands War and today's conflict in Ukraine. They also chat about the possibility of China invading Taiwan and whether Beijing would be able to achieve an element of surprise. In addition to considering where the US Navy stands today in terms of handling its global commitments - and its recent missteps in warship building programmes - the discourse includes how the Russia-China strategic partnership may or may not evolve. Adding a dash of naval history, Iain and Rob nominate some noteworthy battleships, namely Japan's Kongo Class (Rob) and the UK's Warspite and Rodney (Iain). Finally, Rob gives his view on how the new Cold War between East and West may evolve in years to come. • Iain Ballantyne is the Editor of WARSHIPS International Fleet Review magazine.

Released 6 April 2022. This podcast is based on a compendium that resulted from a conference on “Military Operations in an Urban Environment” cosponsored by the Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce in conjunction with the Kentucky Commission on Military Affairs, the U.S. Army War College, and the Association of the United States Army. At the time of the conference, the concept of homeland defense was emerging as an increasingly important mission for the U.S. military. Click here to read the compendium. Episode Transcript: Soldiers In Cities Stephanie Crider (Host) Decisive Point introduces Conversations on Strategy, a US Army War College Press production featuring distinguished authors and contributors who explore timely issues in national security affairs. The views and opinions expressed on this podcast are those of the podcast guests and are not necessarily those of the Department of the Army, US Army War College, or any other agency of the US government. The guests in speaking order on this episode are: (Guest 1: Michael C. Desch) (Host) Conversations on Strategy welcomes Dr. Michael Desch, editor of Soldiers in Cities: Military Operations on Urban Terrain, published by the US Army War College in 2001. A graduate of Marquette University, he holds master's and PhD degrees from the University of Chicago. I'm so glad you're here, Michael. Thank you so much for taking time to go through this with me today. (Desch) My pleasure. (Host) Military Operations on Urban Terrain: Please briefly walk us through the basic concepts of this monograph. (Desch) Military operations in cities is not a new topic. But the period of time in which we put together this collection of papers saw a renaissance of interest in the topic. It really was connected with a series of high-profile, urban operations that sort of reminded us all that operating in urban areas presented great challenges—challenges much greater and unique to those of military operations on other sorts of terrain. You know, the big thing on the American side, of course, was the famous Battle of the Bakaara marketplace (Battle of Mogadishu), chronicled in Mark Bowden's book Black Hawk Down: (A Story of Modern War). But there was also the First Battle of Grozny, in which the Russian military tried to suppress the Chechen uprising and felt that they had to do so, in part, by assaulting the capital of Chechnya, Grozny. Neither of these operations was pretty. And neither of them, I think it's safe to say, was fully satisfactory to the respective militaries involved. And so military operations on urban terrain became a hot topic. There was a lot of doctrinal attention to it. But also, at least in the United States, there was an effort to build or improve the infrastructure for (military operations on urban terrain or) MOUT training at various Army combat training centers and other Army facilities. I was at the University of Kentucky, in Lexington, Kentucky, at the time, and one of the US Army facilities that was investing in a significant upgrade of its MOUT training facilities was the (US Army) Armor School at Fort Knox in Kentucky. Why Kentucky and why MOUT? That was the reason that we undertook this study. (Host) Let's talk about military operations on urban terrain today. What did the monograph get right? (Desch) Well, military operations on urban terrain have been a pretty much consistent part of military operations in recent conflicts. So, most famous, during Operation Iraqi Freedom, were the operations in the Iraqi city of Fallujah. Today, we're seeing military operations in conjunction with the Russian special military operation in eastern Ukraine. And the Russian case is interesting both for instances in which the battle is taking place in urban areas, particularly in the southeast, in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, but also where, at least so far, they're not being undertaken,

International commerce is complicated, especially when considering environmental concerns, societal impact, sourcing, international trade pacts, intellectual property rights, differing business ethics, local political systems of government, and complex legal issues. So, who or what entities help commercial companies navigate these issues of international commerce to help ensure businesses receive accurate information concerning their ventures overseas? To help answer this question is my guest, Veracity Worldwide CEO Daniel "Dan" Crocker. Dan is a former US Diplomat, international commerce expert, and holds advance degrees from University of Virginia, MIT, and Princeton. My conversation with Dan helped peel away some of the complexities of international commerce during which he also explained how he and Veracity assist companies with commerce information associated with the respective countries. Indeed, Veracity Worldwide's reach is extensive with offices in New York, London, Tokyo, and Melbourne. As our conversation progressed, I was drawn into the depth of his knowledge and also his commitment to corporate and personal social responsibility. True to this commitment, Dan is a board member of the "Boys and Girls Club of Greater Washington." If you found this episode (and my podcast in general) interesting, please share it with friends, family, and associates. The goal of my podcast is to have interesting guests share their thoughts on different issues, have guest co-hosts to discuss various topics (especially those that offer humor), and even share short episodes in which I discuss thoughtful and even heartwarming issues.

How do different standards related to intellectual property influence the spread and adoption of emerging military technology? How does the respect for law, process, and customs impact what shows up on the battlefield in the hands of both friend and foe?In a return visit to Midrats this Sunday, we are going to explore this topic with Robert Farley. As a starting point to our discussion we will look at the issues he raised in the new book he co-authored with Davida H. Isaacs “Patents for Power: Intellectual Property and the Diffusion of Military Technology.” Rob Farley teaches national security courses at the Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce at the University of Kentucky, where he tolerates the Wildcats, although his heart remains committed to the Oregon Ducks. His interests lie in maritime history, airpower theory, and the politics of national defense.

Farley, Senior Lecturer at the University of Kentucky Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce, discusses his new book, "Patents for Power: Intellectual Property Law and the Diffusion of Military Technology," which he co-authored with Davida H.

Show notes at http://hellotechpros.com/ux-of-technical-documentation-george-mocharko/ What You Will Learn From This Episode People don't read the whole doc, they need an executive summary. Focus on the UX of technical documentation. Remember that they are consumed by people, not technology. Start thinking about doc from inception and include a tech writer role. Make sure the documentation is accessible when anyone picks it up. A documentation specialist's job is to capture, aggregate, sort and redistribute knowledge. Professionals think 9-5, M-F. It's not time management, its energy management. Cater to energy and communication styles.

Human creativity has been one of the fundamental drivers of civilization. Often our creativity has baffled skeptics by allowing us to find new and better resources, unexpected environmental technologies and genuinely amazing products that no one had predicted. However, like so many before it, Western civilization is now suffering from serious internal decay with its bloated public sectors, punitive taxes, over-regulation, marginalized citizens, stagnation, debt, unemployment and pessimism. In this episode, we speak with Lars Tvede about how to regain our creative edge in the West, and why we lost it in the first place. Lars is the author of the new book, The Creative Society: How the Future Can Be Won. He is a serial entrepreneur and author of numerous books on subjects ranging from economics, financial markets and the future. He holds a Master’s degree in Engineering and a Bachelor’s degree in International Commerce. ______ “I looked at the maps of where creativity was occurring throughout history and I found that it almost only happened when you had small city-states. As soon as a nation become centralized, the creativity dropped.” - Lars Tvede Quotes from Lars: What we learn in this episode: • What does Lars believe is the best part about being an entrepreneur? • Why has the “West” created approximately 97% of all of the world’s innovation? • How can countries foster more creativity?
