TDAXP: The Thesis

Tdaxp has been one of my favorite blogs since day one. Dan strips each problem to its foundational assumptions and rebuilds a range of solutions around interlocking analyses from political, economic, social, and even behavioral laws. To a greater degree than I am, Dan is a TPM Barnett fan — I tend to think Barnett places too much confidence in the power of economics to overcome the predatory nature of tyrants — but every word of his full thesis, “Redefining the Gap,” is certain to make for fascinating reading. He even has a plug from Barnett himself.
