I recently wrote on the subject of middle power nations not needing to choose sides, geopolitically speaking, but to be free to cooperate with others as they see strategically and economically fit for their own purposes.

Not Choosing Sides. The Way Middle Powers Can Operate Successfully in the Modern World
This, I believe - the utilising, rather than joining/shunning of opposing factions - is an essential component and an area of choice for some, and perhaps for many, economically emerging nations to pursue in order to maintain their own independence and sovereignty in today's turbulent world.

"Welcome to the successor to the global economy: the yard sale economy, with all the previously-bought stuff going back into circulation on its way to the dump," says JHK. I'm not sure he hasn't stepped over the fence... Continue Reading →
Climate Activists Have No Idea
This post inspired by: A move away from new coal mines adds up I was going to include the photo from the above article (It's always nice to have a picture to look at), but I couldn't in all conscience do that. Have a look at it and then read on to find out why. ... Continue Reading →
