I don't see a coherent global order anywhere on the horizon.

Sometimes you check things off because you've done them. If you aren't checking stuff off your bucket list, you aren't living very well.

State capitalism is about more than emergency government spending, implementation of more intelligent regulation, or a stronger social safety net. It's about state dominance of economic activity for political gain.

I don't take things off. I either check things off or I add things.

I don't see a coherent global order anywhere on the horizon.

International institutions like the Security Council, the General Assembly, the G20, the BRICs, the IMF, etc., continue to be little more than an extension of the (increasingly conflicting) values and interests of member states.

Deeper state intervention in an economy means that bureaucratic waste, inefficiency and corruption are more likely to hold back growth.
