Global Weaknesses

On today’s show we are talking about geopolitical stability and the vulnerability of nations. The idea behind globalization was that by creating economic interdependency, the world would become a more peaceful place. Many wars have an economic underpinning. But if both sides in a conflict would be harmed by economic disruption, the incentive for confrontation should be reduced.

It turns out that every nation has a weakness when it comes to globalization. No country is an island unto itself that can be fully self sustaining.
