This book really making me realize so far:
1. Perhaps Rhoden delivered one of the most upsetting yet brilliant takes of the 21st century: that Democracy is a completely different beast from liberalism
2. Bruce Lockheart was onto something when he said: “nowhere else in the world has empire endured more than asia”. Perhaps we live in modern empires
3. Consequently, maybe it is undemocratic to democratize all.
