Ep 4 - The Superpower Showdown: Who Will Win the Global Rules Race?

Thomas Barnett converses with Rich Suttie about the competition between the five superpowers to revise global rules. They discuss the emerging global middle class and the superpower competition for its allegiance: between America's brand recognition, Europe's model of member integration, China's economic success, and Russia's military power. They suggest America should offer access to its ruleset to beat China's package and encourages us to seek out alliances and affiliations.
