The energy transition, crypto-currency, the ultimate price of the national debt, the rise of statism and corruption in the United States, the rise of Communist China, the Taiwan question, human rights, new weapon systems, the role of entrepreneurs in society and questions over the balance between the state and freedom all come into play to spark the imagination of the reader.
