Classici Stranieri

*National self-interest stymieing global cooperation,
a [poll of
powerful people] finds.*

* The world has entered a new era marked by zero-sum thinking in which
countries seek relative advantage through protectionism, self-interest
and rejection of mutually beneficial cooperation…*

Zero-sum thinking is more foolish now than ever, as we are all
threatened together by global heating disaster, and avoiding it
requires efforts by all. But there will always be countries that
are threatened more in the short term and others threatened less.
If that becomes an excuse to refuse to pull together, the shortsighted
foolish will doom themselves as well as their “rivals”.
