Excellent I formative speech

Mr. Friedman has been talking about Japan attempting to rebuild an empire for itself ever since 1990. In his book, The Coming War with Japan, he said that the Soviet Union would collapse, China would fissure, and America would retreat from the Asia-Pacific. His 2009 book, The Next 100 Years, says the same thing. He clearly hasn't changed his view very much. That's why I don't have much confidence in what he's saying.

Joseph Zaccardi Let's just say that I follow the Philip Tetlock stance on predictioners with the Foxes and Hedgehog analogy.

I love how he brought out Turkey. It is perhaps among the most underrated power today. The reason why I doubt the current EU is because they are so eager to bring in countries in the Balkans and the Eastern Europe, but they neglect Turkey. Turkey will become far more influential player as the Middle East destabilize further. I do not have such optimism for Japan as he did. Yes, they have a pretty good navy but the demographic issues is becoming huge, and Japan's economic capability is now questionable due to suffering demographics, government's refusal to significantly broaden immigration to keep the industries competitive, and emergence of other nations (Ex. Korea, China, and some countries in Southeastern Asia) who can deliver similar, if not superior, goods that Japan used to monopolize in Asia. Japan continues to decline, and I don't think they can make a big comeback since the nightmare policies they've conducted since the mid-80s. I believe China still has a long long way to go, and I like how he addressed many of the Chinese domestic issues. I like the general direction of where China is going and I think they'll become a far more powerful nation one day... but they will have to resolve many of the issues that keeps China handicapped and it will take decades (even setbacks through recession, violence or even small-scale wars) and I don't see any my future in China... but beyond my lifetime, China is the future. That does not mean China should be ignored in your career portfolio. Huge surge of Chinese middle class/high class would mean regardless of whether they stay in mainland or be braindrained to western worlds, they will still play important role in the world economy. Learning Chinese is not a waste of time even if they won't be able to get to USA level within our lifetimes

niks1na To start off, it's a bit of a far-stretch to call Stratfor a Jewish lobby group (Friedman himself is a Hungarian who immigrated to USA after Hungary was occupied by Soviet Union). He is also the same person who challenges the traditional view that Israel is an important ally of USA, so I don't think your scapegoating has legit claim. Furthermore, I highly doubt that the Kurds will have enough power to play significant influence over Turkey. While demography helps for the Kurds, but it's not the endgame. Look at India or African nations with healthy demography but have very limited power projection around themselves. And Kurds are not Israel - that is, they don't have the experience of running a country (or have any experience fielding military on a large scale), the Kurds themselves are scattered by tribal system somewhat similar to Afghan warlord/tribe structure. Kurds have not penetrated middle-class and high class social hierarchy of Turkey. The Kurds have as much chance of having serious influence over Turkish society as much as Palestinians have over Israel. To this day, Kurds have never achieved any form of sovereignty from any Middle-Eastern nations. (Exception of Iraq, but was only after their military and power dominance was completely destroyed by the West). I could be wrong, of course. But so far, fat chance for Kurds to get any serious voice anytime soon.

There are no such things as countries anymore, only the corporations who run them, and the central banks of those nations in essence, run and control the corporations..Wealthy investors then invest on the goods and resources produced in those nations based on their GDP , and this is what any economy relies on..

He forgot to mention that if you can no longer import it's because your broke and your internal system is therefore bankrupt anyway. Didn't answer the question on who bankrolls the USA. NATO forces themselves as passive aggressors on Russia. Poland is the fall guy (again). His line of thinking has some merit, energy is and always will be key to all strategies- as is cheap / expendable labour. The great game goes on. ...

All economies are cyclic, that’s why we invest somewhere else when our locality is in the down cycle. U can analyze all ur life but really it is that simple, without the fancy financial/economic/micro and macro gibrish.

Which can be an advantage. Everyone buys from you and you just keep expanding and expanding. China has now reached a limit of how fast they can grow, but they have new plans. Invest in 3rd world countries to improve their infrastructure (rail roads, ports, airports) and then sell them products. This will make almost every 3rd world country become of ally of china and naturally hate the USA for never doing shit for them other than bombing them.

for a minute I thought George Bush has got smart after his presidancy term

However, much as the past 30 years of no indication of future growth, the past 30 years do not guarantee that the Chinese cannot innovate more in the future (think the 2020s and 2030s, it's a while off). Additionally, geopolitical influence is not built on your ability to innovate, it has to due with your economic influence (the U.S.'s main tool of economic influence is the huge size of its market which it can open or close to countries and its financial system). All that requires innovation..

Not a single family is mentioned. Nor corporations , say like the big oil corporations I can't tell if it's for marketing (sell a simple book) or he's just plainly avoiding the subject.

Ultimately China will have an economy much larger than America and they will be able to force countries to trade in their currency. Right now they don't want to change the current system too rapidly because they don't want to open their financial system too quickly. The dollar has until 2030 and then its reign will be over.

Most american debt is held by American citizens through bonds and loans. The american debt is way too overyhyped as something that will cripple us when it really isnt a problem

LOL Taylor Worthington, I was just thinking that he was a cross between George Bush and Grandpa from the Munsters!!

... than japan's gdp. Also, in the absence of a China weak enough for Japan to intervene in, I find it unlikely Japan would have any reason to re-militarize. Turkey and Poland are realistic, but Poland's population base is just too small to make it matter as much as Friedman expects it to, and it's unlikely Turkey would have a strong interest in developing more than a regional naval capacity similar to Japan or India's today, and as we've seen, the U.S. can tolerate that.

USA is the greatest power on earth (but only in military power) but in spite of this the USA has not won a single war they fought in post world war 2. China does not brag and it is not in China to brag. China has out-grown USA within 24 years since Nixon visit to China in 1974; China was ranked 100 place in the world packing order, but China out perform USA in just 24 years; what do you see in this ? China has partnered with Russia and that means the military leadership of USA is more or less balance out USA advantage. Can USA get out of their present crisis, their debt to China up to US$3 trillion. China and Russia are now out smarting the US by changing the position of the US$ as the world reserve. I don't think they can ! Prove me wrong. In any war the USA fall flat against Russia & China. Let us see !

Which then falls back on it’s self negatively, example: You get a loan to build a 100 apartments you then build it and start moving people in. You show the community look I built 100 apartments and now these people all live here great right? Who did you get the loan from? Who lives in the apartments? Who made a profit? China gave you the loan, You live there China made zero profit BUT LOOK HOW MUCH WE HAVE GROWN!!!!!!!!

Japan isn't declining. It's overblown. Not having unlimited growth isn't the same as decline. Replacement is preferred in most cases for quality of life, and Japan is just under replacement by a small margin. Only a few small social policies are required to bring this number back to baseline. There is no problem.

I think this video is about ten years old. By today Chinese industry GDP is bigger than U.S.A and Japan combined. The Chinese GDP is about 65% of USA, and more that double than Japan. On PPP term China already suppress USA.

Sorry, i came back on to revise what i previously said, i just read his book forecasting the next 100 years - it took me three hours. it was unfootnoted, and used alot of selective, overly-generalized historical examples. Simply, put, when he generalized his justifications the way he did, i couldn't argue with him - but, that doesn't mean he's right. His book was thought provoking, but full of glaring holes. I'm much less impressed by him now.

2009 SPEECH-

Mr. Friedman, good to see what you think, however, usa's economy is equal to the next 4 economies and the reason for that is not economical but mathematical. It is simple arithmetic. If the world gets rid of trading in dollars and bring down the price of dollar, then you and your country men will know that it won't even remain in top 20 economies. Think about it.

Yes and even without getting rid of the dollar, a decade later the US economy (nominal, calculated in dollars taking into account the exchange rate) is now equal to the next 2 economies (China representing 80%) and by GDP in PPP (taking into account the difference of cost of life), China already surpassed US in 2014.

It's like having 2 bullies living next door to you and having your protector living in the the town. The orator explains his views with extreme bias!!!
