Munk Dialogue with David Sanger
Munk Dialogue with David Sanger
New Cold Wars
About thirty years ago, the world seemed to be entering what President George HW Bush called “a new world order” – a world where capitalism was victorious, global trade would discourage countries from going to war, and authoritarianism would slowly give way to liberal democracy.
It hasn’t worked out that way.
How did such a hopeful moment in history slip through our fingers? That’s the subject of the book New Cold Wars: China’s Rise, Russia’s Invasion, and America’s Struggle to Defend the West, by David E. Sanger. Sanger is the White House and National Security Correspondent for The New York Times, where he has worked as a reporter for more than four decades. He joins us to talk about his book and how the world ended up where it is today.
