Yesterday, we had the opportunity to sit down with Ian Bremmer of Eurasia Group for a joint CSIS-YPFP interview. He has a new book out, The End of the Free Market, so conversation mostly revolved around that. I, for my part, tore through The J Curve in a few days, which is a refreshingly straight-forward and interesting political science book. We were fortunate to have all the time with him we did, especially considering his recent appearances on The Daily Show and numerous other media outlets.
Ian Bremmer is something of a hero in certain circles for, as he says, creating a company at which a dedicated political scientist can thrive and add value to the market. Additionally, by founding Eurasia Group before the age of 30 and much more, it is evident that his business skills are formidable.
His creations add significant knowledge to the understanding of foreign policy and international affairs. He's also not afraid to defend the Western-style free market capitalism, which is more than many people today can say. Surprisingly, at the end of the day, he is also an optimist.
He gives a good interview, and we're hoping to have a solid cut in the next couple of weeks.
