    Fareed: emotions. Ferguson: facts. And, Fareed, the EU was not Europeans coming together for peace. It was France and Germany deciding they can't keep fighting over who rules Europe: let's share the rule of Europe. Germany, you do industry and banks, France, we'll do the philosophy, fund farmers, and add a little bit of fancy food.

    Fareed kept attacking the man, not the point of order. If his arguments failed on his tongue, then that alone was evidence. The only compelling point he made was at the end, and that was not a call to acknowledge facts but to voice your hopes and wishes. Neil had the best of the debate.

    • @wattlebough
      @wattlebough 4 года назад

      PLN Definitely the guy is a schmuck. Implying that Neil would prefer to keep the average Chinese citizen down living on a dollar a day and so many other straw men to win his argument. The guy plays dirty. Also, it’s not about being hopeful, it’s about the cold hard reality that doesn’t care about optimism and hopefulness. Neville Chamberlain hoped that the rise of the Third Reich would be a good thing, until it invaded Poland. When a country is rearming with expeditionary capability, it’s not to maintain the integrity of its borders. China currently has 7 aircraft carriers on the books for completion from 2035 onwards. The USN currently has 5 carriers in its Pacific Fleet: 2 at San Diego, 2 at Bremerton, Washington State, and 1 and Yokosuka, Japan.

      Not just a lack of accuracy. He is desperately clinging to this "order" for self-preservation because he made himself a prop for that order; he self-appointed himself an "expert" and "elite" in this order. Its his religion. Fareed's perspectives are theoretical, ideological, and system oriented for economics rather than individual orientated for total human flourishing.

    Bravo Ferguson, what a pleasure to listen to you! I used to think that Zakaria was the only remaining CNN personality capable of analysis well worth our attention. In this debate, however, he appears to have morphed into "Salon/luxury Communist, coming across a bit manipulative and agitated in the bargain.
    Since these are, once again, precarious times, rather than confrontational debate, I wish French philosopher BHL were on this, too, for a three-way conversation. Perhaps the Q is whether Level-Headed Liberal Order is dying and being replaced by Faux, Loony Liberalism. And how can we remain Level-Headed Liberals and Conservative, as necessary, without tight media echo-chambers.

    Two neoliberals (one of whom is under the delusion he's not a neoliberal) arguing with each other over the interpretation of some arcane point of capitalist economics: what is better, liberal capitalism or neoliberal capitalism; Chinese, Russians and Indians living on $1 a day before capitalist globalisation smashed open these countries, freeing them from the horrors of communism and socialism, or $4 a day thanks to the joys of the free market.
    This is all about western imperialism versus western neo‐imperialism but with the latter being - in keeping with the woke, virtue signalling, politically correct world in which we live - more multicultural, more inclusive, China and India now muscling their way into what was formerly an exclusively all white gentleman's club of neocon fascists.

    I'm an Indian. I'd just like to counter Fareed's point about the impact of the supposed liberal international order on India. The liberal international order is supposed to have begun post 1945. India went through a bloody partition in 1947. India and Pakistan have fought 3 wars post that. India and China has fought 1 war since. Where was the liberal international order all that while? And the only reason India adopted it's pro market policies post 1991 is because that was the only option left, it had nothing to do with any liberal international order. The liberal international order is a liberal myth.

      When people talk about a liberal order they are in fact just talking about the hegemony - cultural, economic political, military - of the United States, a hegemony deeply inbued with neo‐conservative political ideology and a theory of classical economics that is straight up neo‐liberal. There is only one new, liberal, international order and that is the one conceived in the boardrooms of US corporations.

  • @sid1680
    @sid1680 3 месяца назад +1

    5 years late, yet thought it was interesting. I am from India. Have lived in the US for over 20 years and the UK for under 4 years. Indeed hilarious Farid thinks an order of sorts that brought Europe together is either international or liberal. Was neither. The bankruptcies one by one of many EU nations is sufficient evidence. Moreover, the rules imposed on these bankrupt EU nations by the economic powerhouses of the EU demonstrate the illiberal nature of that order. As far as rules go, the rules are for the less mighty made up by the mighty.
    Farid also makes the fundamental mistake of equating the economic gain that led to a middle class in India or China to some sort of major emancipation the middle class in these two countries has gone through. Absolutely not! He’s also made the same mistake about Poland saying its GDP has risen 5x since it joined the EU. The EU centric order has only been able to put some money into the hands of a total of 500 million middle class people in China and India. But not been able to hand these 500 million the freedom of the sort David Hume and Adam Smith envisioned. That’s because up to this day, the supercilious liberal class that boasts of a liberal order has never really understood what “liberal” means. They’ve never tried to understand liberal from the point of view of the individual, rather they have always meant liberal as in we all must agree with everyone. Sort of like controlling an individual’s thought process, no different than the attitude of leaders such as Xi, Modi or Putin.
    Lastly, Farid tends to mix things with the ease of an amateur. Perhaps, with no ulterior motives. Even so, being fully aware of the Monroe doctrine, he equates the inclusion of Ukraine in the EU to its inclusion in NATO!
    Of course, Niall Ferguson was the winner hands down! I like that Niall interprets data well. Stats have to be interpreted well for what they are trying to tell us. Merely quoting them is not saying much. For example he correctly points out the incessant turmoils in East and Southeast Asia and in the third world. While Farid points to a chart that merely presents a reducing trend in the number of conflicts in terms of the killings. Think of the Bangladesh war which saw close to 10 million refugees come into India and living in dire circumstances, the genocide in Rwanda in the 1990’s, or the various wars in former Yugoslavia that lasted a decade, to name a few. Farid’s got to be kidding, sitting in the most convenient place in the world and not even able to experience the terrible sufferings of all these people. What’s worse is to clumsily misrepresent this suffering as slight deviations from the intended normal liberal rules based international order and to say that on there has been some gain on balance across the globe. No way! That’s why we got to realize the difference between liberal from the individual’s point of view as opposed to a collective agreement within a group or society.
    The supercilious have all got it wrong!

  • @fleetyrrany9164
    @fleetyrrany9164 4 года назад +2

    And let me tell you Fareed of a Father in China who was working forced labor in the fields of Communist Oppressor Xi ! The family was very hungary.. One day while working in the fields , a young boy took a potatoe from the ground and put it in his pocket. A chinese military guard saw the young boy do it. The guard yanked the young boy from the field and in the presence of the forced laborers working along side the young boy , the guard called the boys father forward. The Father plead for the boys life before the guard. He explained that there were many in his family and that they did not have enpogh to feed them all , so the food was rationed. He explained that his son acted out of hunger pangs and not to intentionally disobey the law. The guard handed the father a gun and put the gun up to the young boys head. The guard told the Father to kill his son or the guard would kill the whole family. The Father cried and plead convulsively with the guard to no avail. The Father in torment ultimately pulled the trigger killing his son. Then the guard forced the Father to dig the grave of his son and bury him. Afterwords the father went out of his mind and his conscience could no longer bare the horror he inflicted on his son. The Father died 3 days later lying in the dirt of his humble home , from a broken heart. This happens daily in the Xi dictatorship of China.
    You in the NWO.. International Liberal World Order..
    You are Opening the door for an International Leader to step in and take total Control of this World. He will not be kind. He will tickle your Liberal ear and you will believe his lies and when he is given power.. HE WILL RULE OVER THE EARTH AND CREATE SUCH HORRORS AS THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN BEFORE COMBINED ! There will be no-one who escapes his power.
    Billions will die for your Naive notion of Utopia or No-topia..

    There are much more parameters involved.
    One can also ask does growth in gdp always equals well being in general and who benefits from?
