Jiang Xueqin: Western Decline, Asian Turmoil & World War

Prof. Xueqin Jiang argues that both historical patterns and game theory can be used to accurately predict future events. Prof. Jiang discusses socio-economic and political challenges of a world undergoing rapid change: the US imperial model becoming more bellicose during decline, Europe's struggle to remain relevant, the internal turmoil that will shake Asia, and the second war on Iran that will be very different as Iran understands this is an existential struggle.
