The Architecture of National Power
From human capital to geopolitical power: what really makes a nation strong.
Chapter I asked why we trust money. Chapter II showed how money works as a system.
Chapter III asks the harder question: why do some nations become powerful while others stay trapped?
Not money. Not gold. Not oil alone.
This chapter follows the machine underneath: people, labor, productivity, technology, chips, energy, minerals, capital, trade, the dollar network and, at the bottom of it all, ownership.
