Tectonic Shift

In The Commanding Heights (1998), Yergin and Stanislaw describe the historic forces that have prompted societies, worldwide, to reject government control of the dominant businesses and industries of the world economy and promote more entrepreneurial ownership and the growth of the private sector.

Tectonic Shift looks to the world’s geoeconomic and geopolitical future to herald the unprecedented realignment of developed and developing nations into three mega economic and political blocs—strategic partnerships, bound by free trade, a common currency, shared values, developmental priorities, and institutions. Based on their extensive research and analysis, Sheth and Sisodia argue that this new integration is the surest and fastest way to benefit the most people worldwide and to ensure both growth and prosperity around the globe.
