About
“Apolarity could turn out to mean an anarchic new Dark Age, an era of waning empires and religious fanaticism, of economic plunder and pillage in the world’s forgotten regions, of economic stagnation, and civilization’s retreat into a few fortified enclaves.”
-Niall Ferguson, “A World Without Power,” Foreign Policy, July/August 2004
(Suffice it to say, I’m slightly more optimistic about the coming/present apolarity.)
