How to make sense of China’s rise? For Phenomenal World I wrote something on its changing role in global finance.

Dit is natuurlijk gelul, maar alles gaat over het beeld:

Wij zijn zielig maar gaan de mouwen opstropen als 'bottom up' verzetsstrijders; wij hebben 'skin in the game' - wij zijn echt heel geloofwaardig als we straks onze ouwe parelkettingzaag voor de zoveelste x in het staatsapparaat zetten.
