Changing Orders

The article discusses the concept of changing orders and how it is linked to internal and external conflicts that have occurred throughout history. Three significant events that have prompted this study are the lack of money to pay debts, growing gaps in wealth and values, and increasing external conflicts between rising and leading great powers. Orders refer to governing systems within and between countries, and they typically change after wars or when new revolutionary forces defeat weak old orders. The current world order, known as the American world, was established after the Allied victory in 1944 and the Bretton Woods agreements, which set out the world’s leading reserve currency as the US dollar. These changes occur in a timeless and universal cycle known as the big cycle.
