Carsten Jørgensen, Editor in Chief, The Finans Magazine
Most people who are Nils’ age have no clue about technology or the way finance works today, let alone the way it will work in the future. They rarely think outside of the box within which they operate. The opposite is true of Nils. He’s a traveller who easily switches between worlds, be it between countries, like Denmark or Great Britain, or mindsets, like classic banking, fintech or crypto development. Wherever he goes he keeps his eyes open, full of hunger and curiosity for what is to come. It’s this 360° curiosity which makes him such an inspiring person who manages to convey his thinking to people, no matter their level of expertise.

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.
