Overview
Who runs the world?
According to renowned Yale business school professor, Paul Bracken, the answer isn’t difficult, though it may not be the one most people want to hear.
Business runs the world. From 5G to AI, from automobiles to computer chips, big business is the centerpiece of global competition between countries. This is a radical difference from the Cold War, and it subverts traditional geopolitics of Sun Tzu, Clausewitz, and Kissinger.
