Lind On Barnett and IR

Bill Lind was immensely entertaining, choice quotes when someone asked him about Thomas Barnett’s core/gap paradigm:

  • “Total horseshit”
  • “4GW for Children… complete with a fairy godmother leviathan”
  • “Only the Pentagon could love it”
  • “Ahistorical”
  • “Acultural”
  • “Not serious”
  • “Should be read in a comic framework”

Lind on international relations:

  • India is the land of the future and always will be
  • The veneer is wearing thin
  • China disintegrating is our greatest threat
