Talks

Five Fatal Fallacies of the West

Kishore Mahbubani
The West has lost its way. Its custodians, including its politicians, pundits, prophets, and priests, have failed. 200 years of global domination have been enjoyed, but only because the rest of the world was asleep. The rest have now woken up. Join the former President of the UN Security Council and author of Has China Won?, Kishore Mahbubani, as he argues for critical changes the West needs to make. If these changes are not made, Europe will become a museum and the US will become a self-absorbed country cut off from the world.
