Формат: Аудиокнига Язык: Английский Книга в целом понравилась. Не согласен с некоторыми тезисами (о том что нам не так важно как японцам развивать электронику, т.к. у нас есть нефть и т.п.). Не понравился тон подачи материала - материал в читателя вдалбливается как истина в первой инстанции, без особых сомнений со стороны автора и т.п. В целом, я уверен, что все решения западных стран диктуются исключительно экономическими и политическими целями.

Excellent book on geopolitics and how oil is the real "gold" of the world. Puts in perspective most of political drama in the world. While news channels transmit carefully designed propaganda, the real players do their their deeds behind the curtain of democracy and freedom.
