The U.S. seems determined to manage the world order, even if that means taking the current integrated global economic system and re-calibrating it based on shared national security concerns — like the West on the one side, China and Russia on the other, and the 'non-aligned' like India and the rest of the Global South pressured to pick a team. That seems to be afoot given recent statements by the U.S. Treasury Secretary and the State Department. Here to talk about it is the Quincy Institute's advocacy director and economic policy expert Marcus Stanley. In the first segment, Daniel and Kelley discuss the increased U.S. military presence in Somalia, which has gone all but unnoticed by official Washington and the media.
