Major economic shifts are occurring in the world, in part driven by a response to Western imperialist nations’ long history of attempting to impose their will through economic and military coercive measures. To understand the current state of globalization and where it is headed, Clearing the FOG speaks with Radhika Desai, the director of the Geopolitical Economy Research Group at the University of Manitoba. Desai discusses neoliberalism and how it weakens first world economies, as well as alternatives such as the BRICS formation that are starting to have a significant impact in challenging Western hegemony. She also describes the current events in Western Asia as another turning point in the decline of Western power.
Radhika Desai and Michael Hudson are my favorite geopolitical economists.
They do a great YouTube show together, Geopolitical Economy Hour.Is a transcript available?
Not from the link providied, however it does provide solid context. But since it’s widely available, I’d think one of the sources provides a transcription. If you find one please let me know and I’ll add it to this post.
