GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN (MAY 27, 2021) -- In Episode 16, Dr. Loftus interviews Dr. Diesen on the main themes of his new book based on great power competition and the fourth industrial revolution. Topics include how technological innovation is re-shaping our societies and influencing great power competition, the meaning and relevance of liberal economic practices in this new era, the viability of capitalism, how domestic politics affect foreign policy choices, how these developments affect democracy and what the future of the transatlantic relationship will be considering these trends.
