3.0

More unstructured and flip flopping between views of the politics and economics that underlie changes in current “silk roads”. Connections that bring strategic benefit to multiple interests and shape a development direction.

Overall the book is fact filled, heavily tuned to the Trupist disruptive factors and light on abstractions and overviews that were more central in the previous book. This makes the book not as useful, and harder to draw conclusions from.

I would venture the author should have used a different title and written his true sequel a bit later with more of an integrated abstract view.
