THE CLASH

P 86, the 200 year blip of Western hegemony almost over.

When you look around for causes, he acts at some points like it was Western decline merely as a dumb, blind, natural result or process of Asian resurgence. 

At other points, he equivocates, saying we should still try weakly to limit transfer of technology and know how, but admits that globalization has already made that effort largely passee, back in 1996, or 1993, when the article came out.

People who knew anything knew that this was going on since WWII really, and had started even before that, as his passage at p 86 shows.
