Pepe Escobar: The Raging Twenties: Geopolitics, Economy, and Biosecurity


Listen Later


The provided text offers a comprehensive analysis of global geopolitical shifts and economic transformations during what the author terms the "Raging Twenties." It examines the rise of the Russia-China strategic partnership as a counter-force to perceived Western, particularly US, hegemony, highlighting the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) as a central element in Asia's growing influence. The sources also explore the socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, questioning official narratives and suggesting a "controlled demolition" of the global economy aimed at implementing a new digital financial system and increased surveillance. Furthermore, the text contrasts Western and Eastern philosophical approaches to governance, societal control, and the concept of "barbarism," ultimately suggesting a future shaped by a clash between the "Hegemon" and assertive "civilization-states" in Eurasia.
