Kotkin and Parulekar miss the point that those ties are exactly the ones what weakens the Anglos Any Anglo wanted to ingratiate themselves with the Sugar Daddy USA. They had home bias and did business with one another, voted in block in the UN and had defense pacts. These ties are coming back to haunt them. See Canada and US concern oil. US does not want to hold that trade deficit and Canada is scrambling to get their oil west to China. Canada had 80% of its trade with the US. As the US wants to lower that trade deficit they are leaving Canada in the lurch. Australia? They now depend on China. New Zealand? The EU left in them in the lurch when they started pursuing their agriculture policies among themselves. Advice to Anglospshere: Embrace the rest. Leave you buddies to fend for themselves. It is a brave new world. Kotkin and Parulekar names do not exaclty sound Anglo names.Take a Smith and a Jones and they'd agree with Elmat

Thanks C2. A good review. Virtuous Victorian Values include Christian concepts of temporal relationships such as peer to peer relationships rather than totalitarian dominance hierarchies which are the normal mode of management in chimpoid tribes. The outcome is that english is not just for the English. There is no department of official english as there is for french and maori. English language is an eclectic creative commons. So restaurant, cafe, sushi, glasnost, and swarms of other words become english. There are more people in the Anglosphere in India than there are English in England. Chinese are learning english com gusto [another english phrase]. Despite the supposed evils of English colonialism, the local yokels swarmed to it. In South Africa, hordes of melanin rich from nearby countries bust over the borders to suffer the supposed evils of apartheid.

Common law and all that good stuff was transferred too. The idea that science beats mysticism. That Englightenment beats Obedience. Mqurice
