James Leigh

This extraordinary book may change your view of the world.
          James Leigh foresees the present fragmenting world to move towards continent-wide civilizational superpowers. In this shift in the world’s distribution of political, commercial and military power, Leigh predicts the implosion of the United States, as the world moves into a post-AngloSaxon era because globalization failed to bring the world together into a collection of pluralistic liberal democracies, operating on a level commercial playing field.
          This looming world will be made up of: a German-led Catholic Europe, an Asian conglomerate centered around China and Russia, and a largely PanArab Islamist bloc under Iran. An explosive mix of rival nuclear powers, leading to full scale contention and military conflict, with mass-destruction weapons.
          Civilization clash is not new, but this time in the post-globalization era, it will be a quantum leap different because of the numbers of peoples, and the economic and military power held in each civilizational superpower, guided by charismatic religious leaders.
          In conclusion an answer is given for a solution to this impending world at war, as the author looks to the mystical. He argues for a change in the mind of mankind to one of benevolence, sharing and charity to replace competition, conflict and strife.
          This must-read book gives the reader a geopolitical framework to make sense of world events. If James Leigh is right, we should be prepared for dramatic world events to drastically change our lives.

 

Reader’s comment: This book does a fantastic job of shifting one’s global perspective away from a mindset that takes for granted the power, prosperity and dominance of the Western world. … quite frightening! …
