My thoughts on "Principles for dealing with the Changing world order" what are yours?

By dustyhare

I’ve talked about this book with a few people and the reactions were all over the place. My quick overall take is that it’s pretty interesting and definitely makes you think, even if you don’t agree with everything. The author comes at it from a finance/investing angle (he’s a hedge fund manager and investor), and he’s also known for predicting things about markets and the global economy pretty well. So when he lays out his view of what’s driving the world, it doesn’t feel like some random take—it feels like someone who’s been watching trends closely for a long time. What I kept coming back to is his push for plain, honest thinking—like, don’t just react to headlines, try to understand the deeper forces behind what’s happening. That part honestly feels useful, even if you’re not super into geopolitics. There are also ideas in here that are going to annoy some readers. For instance, he’s basically saying the current setup is moving away from the US-centered, one-big-power situation toward something more multipolar, with multiple major centers of power. I can totally see why that would be a hot button topic, and I’m not 100% sure everyone will buy it, but his background and past prediction record do give his argument more weight. So yeah, mixed opinions overall, but for me it was one of those books that gives you a lot to chew on. Even where you disagree, it’s not thin or sloppy—it’s still trying to connect history and patterns to what might be coming next.
