What If the World Was One : Part 1

I've been listening to people like Professor Hugh White and Prime Minister Mark Carney reacting to current World events. They are saying the current world order is breaking down. Mark Carney says we need to replace it by like minded middle powers quickly banding together. Hugh White says it looks like the world will split into spheres of influence where, as Steve Miller puts it, might is right. Hugh thinks we will fall within China's sphere of influence and there is not much we can do about it. He seems to think that Australia's lucky streak of having a benevolent super power protect the water around us are over. 

These people amongst many others are commenting on power, and what the world will look like for the next 100 or 1000 years. Who will hold that power and whose vision of the future will persist. Indeed who will persist. For instance, in 100 years, I doubt there will be any Uyghurs people left in China. If Trump gets his way then the USA will run like Russia does now. 

Specifically, we are talking about the concentration of power. Power is a bit like water. When it flows it's energy can be harvest to do work. When it spreads itself far and wide it produces an abundance of life. When it sits in one place, toxic algae blooms kill and consume all life within. 

Right under our noses we had been seeing the concerntration of power in China, in Russia, and lately in the USA.
