Ruminations on economy and geopolitics.
The author discusses uncertain economic and political future and concludes that world economy is a single organism that requires a common regulator, especially due to the ongoing accelerated technological changes. First and foremost, however, we need to abandon current geopolitics under which our victories translate into someone’s defeat. The world needs to come to a moral and ethical consensus. Russia’s survival depends solely on megaprojects, especially in road construction (railroads, highways), that would facilitate infrastructure development, which requires state investments in spite of concurrent risks. And real changes cannot be introduced without an active civil stance.
