Ep 2 - America's Gift to the World: Globalization, Climate Change, and the Middle Class

On this episode Thomas Barnett and Rich Suttie discuss how America can reemerge as a global leader in the face of globalization, climate change, demographics, and middle class consumption. Rich and Thomas have known each other since their days at the Naval War College in Rhode Island. They discuss how globalization is America's gift to the world, and argue that the US should replicate the way it handled the emergence of a middle class in Europe and the West in the early 20th century on a global scale.
