Earlier this year I was privileged to be invited to become an contributing analysis at a new enterprise, that by it's own description is;“A Global Marketplace of Geopolitical Analysis.” Over the past ten months Wikistrat has grown to now include some of the most tuned-in group of experts and analysts ever assembled, all for the purpose of providing a real time analysis tool. Recently the CEO of Wikistrat, Joe Zamel wrote a post on Dr. Thomas PM Barnett's Blog explaining how Dr. Barnett was a major influence in founding this team. He went on to urge readers to view the series of briefs that explain the "Five Strategic Flows" that will drive the advance of globalization and connectivity into the future. As a way of sharing these briefs in full, I have embed them below for your viewing. It takes about an hour to watch all six briefs; them you are encouraged to form your own analysis of Barnett's vision of the future. You may not agree with his vision, but it will fill your mind with nuggets of pure information to chew upon as you decide if you are going to be a passenger, or step forward to be involved in building a future worthy of your children and grandchildren. Now for Dr. Barnett.
