Economics and Empires

Greetings, Community,

To lay the foundation for the subsequent discussions, I've opted to present a comprehensive overview of the current geopolitical and economic landscape. This initial exploration will serve as a primer, enriching your understanding before we delve into more immediate matters.

Below is the outline of my "Economics and Empires" series, originally conceived as a book project:

1. Economics and Empires 1: The Big Picture

2. Economics and Empires 2: Germany's Final Act

3. Economics and Empires 3: National Interests, Religion, and Media Dynamics

4. Economics and Empires 4: Strategic Considerations about Developments in Asia

5. Economics and Empires 5: Who Is in Charge of the United States?

6. Economics and Empires 6: The Essence of Money, Capitalism, and Credit

Furthermore, I recommend the following readings to fully comprehend the events leading to the current state of heightened global tension, reminiscent of a new Cold War:

1. Ukraine: Scorched Earth

2. The Path to the War in Ukraine: Circumstances that Led to the Escalation in Ukraine

3. New Draft Treaty for European Security: Geopolitical Goals of Russia

4. War Analysis: Phase 1
