#EndofHistory Part 2: FF establishes the Mechanism - how tech/sci devlpmt lead to capitalism. Still need to make the argument of liberal democracy over bureaucratic-authoritarianism - in the next part.

A summary and review of #ThomasFriedman's #ThankYouForBeingLate in 2016. He posits a #GreatAcceleration - comprising the computational, globalisation, and climate weirding, and how his community in Minnesota offers some ways of handling that.

"That Used To Be Us" - is now about 10 years old. #tomFriedman and #MichaelMandelbaum wrote about how America was failing to address issues then, and the performance is still sub-par today. Will America respond better in the short term future?

Scenarios are systems based on specific trend configurations. All of which ought to feed back to organisational strategies.

Reviewed #hotflatcrowded #TomFriedman missed out American #sociopolitical polarisation that made #Obama stuck. Why Friedman wished the US to be "like China for a day (and not two). And to avoid being a BANANA republic. 2009. Missed opportunities.

15-year review - #ThomasFriedman's #TheWorldisFlat. We live in the shadow of the flat world. Friedman thought the adverse consequences of the Flat World could be balanced with state and society. But no. We don't live in his "Compassionate Flatism" world.

#ThomasFriedman wrote #lexusandtheolivetree more than 20 years ago. Here is a retrospective. #globalisation

Useful activity to look at these influential books in the past and to review how their ideas continued to shape conversations.

Environment degradation continued. No "sustainable globalisation" at all.

[Scalable Analysis @scal_analysis]

We now experience the connectivity backlash. Efficient supply chains with no fat; supply chain instead becoming points of influence for sharp coercion sometimes.

[Scalable Analysis @scal_analysis]

There was the notion that, global capital/financial markets will force transparency on companies and countries from doing bad things. Overestimate the ability for companies and countries to influence back.

[Scalable Analysis @scal_analysis]

There was the idea that China's governance might converge to Western norms. Had examples of village elections at that time. Looking back it was possibly wishful thinking.

[Scalable Analysis @scal_analysis]

Its... a reflection of Hubris, of the United States as a hyperpower. Of globalisation starting to make itself felt. We live with the consequences today.

I refactored #ThreeHorizons framework through a #systemsthinking lens, making it compatible with #causallayeredanalysis. And #systemsthinking #leveragepoints are compatible with CLA, so creating a full circle of frameworks.

[Scalable Analysis @scal_analysis]

All of these brings #ThreeHorizons, #systemsthinking and #causallayeredanalysis into one integrated framework.

[Scalable Analysis @scal_analysis]

#systemsthinking's leverage points can also be refactored into #causallayeredanalysis layers. From 12 leverage points https://t.co/OtxFzqlMSD - 12-9 is litany, 8-6 are causes/structures, 5-3 are worldview, 1-2 are myths/metaphor/deep stories.

Thee Horizons H1, H2, H3 can be refactored through a systems lens. About two systems competing, with H2 being transitory factors that might strengthen or weaken H3 from H1.
