I love Tooze. He tells it like it is. Not pro West, not pro China/Russia. Just the arbiter of facts. Now when you are a neutral arbiter of facts, it can come across as anti West in a pro West dominated mainstream media environment.

hardly a neutral arbiter of facts if khalistani terrorists are being described as 'poliricians'

Dr. Tooze's broad analysis is a welcome reminder of how much we still have to learn, having been trained so Eurocentrically. The countries of Asia each have their own specific problems and relations with each other that we need to understand and respect.

I look west to the east 5,000 miles across the water from here in Seattle. This edge of Western Civilization facing the nation where the world’s largest economy was located until around 2 centuries ago is once again. Adam Tooze calls it the China shock. Ultimately when we realize we’re not the biggest any more. That gets to the broader cognitive crisis discussed in the Q&A. I think maybe on this coast we get it about Asia more than people back in the Atlantic basin. Just feel more connected.

Excellent. So glad to hear your remarks on Asia. Especially the time spent on the 640 million people in south east Asia which is not like China or India. I’m particularly struck by the reality of our place in the US being so far removed from the drivers seat regarding climate and now with Trump, really anything else pertaining to the global order. I hope our engagement with the world can be positive in these coming decades instead of just a defense of Netanyahu and his policies

I was just asking myself yesterday " what would Prof Adam Tooze be thinking now" with all these global developments

@cdawson4399 Ай бұрын

Great big picture on the topics he touched upon in his speech, but disappointed that he did not touch upon other key trends that he himself has dealt with in his blogs. For example, the massive renewable energy capacity that China has built up in the last few years which dwarfs the European effort, forget the Americans, even while coal is going on. And another example, the problem that globalisation has created in the developed world, esp USA, even while driving the reduction of poverty in Asia. And, of course, the contentious topic of population and demographics, including per capita trends and what that means for development (eg, per capita incomes, per capita carbon, etc).

@okihiro22 Ай бұрын

The way he framed the demographic question made me think of the first centuries of colonialism in the Americas. I don't understand it in depth but I think that would be an instance of the socioeconomic and political context driving psychological decisions not to reproduce. Besides the killing via war of conquest, enslavement and disease, I understand there's record of this type of dynamic also affecting the massive demographic changes indigenous Americans went through over the 16th-18th Cs.

Women decide on fertility in large part in terms of what they can afford. Children are expensive all the way through college. That cost comes at great expense to oneself, materially and psychologically.

Tooze is interesting but, gosh, his verbosity is off the charts

@cornellencar Ай бұрын

Mr. Tooze, you wouldn't call an US administration "a regime" but you refer to the Chinese government as "a regime". You are full of yourself. What is the corrupt monarcho-oligarchic system in UK then?

@cornellencar Ай бұрын

It was a nice lecture, nevertheless, bringing the west to earth...

@Gormilein Ай бұрын

The US and UK governments are still democratically elected - despite their deep flaws. The Chinese communist party is the only ruling political organization in China without alternative. It is simply by definition a regime.

@DaniyalNaqvi-t5s Ай бұрын

A regime doesn't have to mean anything, but if you view it in the context that it is usually a much more authoritative approach to doing government things, China is definitely a regime and the US isn't

The view of the United States of America's Democracy at work, every four years, like the change of season, never same The South Asia, is nothing more then USA model at a great scale size under the Western Democracy model they follow. Since the time of Marco Polo, the view of Asia still remain the same. Only differ now is, Asia is more prepare now.

State of asia and the man starts with europe. Europes problems are not the worlds problems.

@anton.069 Ай бұрын

Your problems are not the audience's problems. He makes it clear why he does it: to emphasize Europe's provincialization, which is indeed an issue of global politics and driven by the emergence of Asia. You are the one who misses the point, not Adam.

@@anton.069 the point is asia doesn't care about europe. If he needs to build opinion it is in Europe not in asia. Asia is dynamic enough, it's europe that is losing the way.

Just look at 55:00 . He has been emphasising on Asia’s dynamism for years, and also the dangers it faces. He has been hammering the point that real climate action has to happen in Asia, especially china. I don’t think it’s hard for any sensible person to admit that we are nowhere close to china’s dynamism.

@@Jatin-b2z He deliberately lies by ignoring 1) trade driven CO2 emissions 2) per capita data and 3) consumption driven CO2 versus fixed capital formation. This is modern racist propaganda: he is too smart to excuse his errors and misrepresentation as a simple "mistake", particularly his comments around 1:08.
