Westlessness:
Are we headed towards a more diverse global future?
Samir Puri
In demographic, economic, military, and cultural terms, we are hurtling towards a far more diverse global future. Many of our certainties about the present, built on centuries of massive Western global impact, are increasingly fragile. Untold wealth is moving from the West to the East, with nations like India and Indonesia set to reach new heights of growth and confidence. And China continues its ascent to the peak of the economic mountain. But are cracks appearing? And will the Western world, under the aegis of US global military, economic, technological, and cultural power, give up its privileged position willingly?
