Sinopsis

FROM BREXIT TO BRAZIL VIA HONG KONG, CHINA, RUSSIA AND THE USAAn insightful foray into the colourful volatility of todayâÇÖs world this collection of prosaic essays remarks on the political, social, lifestyle and environmental maelstrom in which we find ourselves. John Spencer comments on this in a provocative manner and ponders possible solutions. Many world leaders would be extremely displeased by his observations and opinions.ChinaâÇÖs ruthless expansionism, evidenced by the suppression of democracy in Hong Kong and its bullying threats to Taiwan, is one of many issues discussed. John has closely followed events and trends in our world for many years. The issues that bother many people have intensely concerned him and he wishes to promote further discussion in the search for available solutions.The trend to elect populist leaders without due regard to the consequences is one of his lines of inquiry. Others include the ever increasing disappearance of freedom, the increasing human overpopulation, along with its aging, and the looming environmental disaster. Some of the essays point to the likelihood of such pandemics as COVID-19 as well as the early demise of the elderly. Greed, stupidity and overpopulation are closely examined as is the predilection of the young for danger.á
