REVIEWS
What do people do while living between historical periods? They talk about the past and try to imagine the future. This book by Vadim Makhov is invaluable precisely because it represents a collection of timely reflections, an attempt to give a prologue to a new historical period. The central point of the book, as I see it, is search for the meaning of social and biological evolution and for answers to questions of concern to all of us: what change will occur next, what new things will happen to us? To answer these questions, the author puts forward what I have called ‘the Makhov hypothesis’.

This is truly a big-idea book that is, at the same time, free from distorting and juggling facts. Vadim has created a unique body of knowledge about humanity, seen through the prism of his original ‘lucky clover’ theory, which can be disputed as rather ambiguous, but cannot be denied grace.

Pax Japonica
Japan, the world's third largest economy and its largest creditor nation, has been in crisis for more than two decades. Its economy has been depressed or in recession in much of that period, its banking sector in a critical state, and its public sector burdened by recurring fiscal deficits and mounting debt. Today, the hegemonic role in global trade and financial markets has been assumed by the USA and China. Yet, this book argues that a possible future Pax Japonica - one in which Japan will overcome its paralyzing debt and once again play a leading role in global finance - can become a reality. Leading international strategist Takeo Harada provides new and astounding insight into Japan's hidden role as designated controller of large - often secret - funds kept for the purpose of rescuing humankind from ultimate disasters. For this reason, Japan's role in the global economy can never be under-estimated and remains critical to its progress.

Powerful, Different, Equal
From Trump’s aggressive rhetoric against China, to the escalating trade war with tit for tat responses, and China’s 2025 initiative that threatens the US global leadership in advanced technologies, tensions between the US and China (the two dominant forces of today’s world) have never been higher.
This book provides a timely analysis of the US-China relationship. Each model is deeply rooted in their respective histories and cultures, with both models highly successful in achieving their main goals and highly resilient over time. It explores the core misconceptions on governance, economic, social and military issues, and the root causes of these misconceptions. If China and US could close the gap by each understanding those differences and their implications, the author argues, they could work together to overcome global issues to the benefit of all.
