About 'Discounted ... By a Lightning Strike!' and gaps in the Unipolar Order - the rationale for a new economic consensus model in the EU
Hypervestments is the hedge fund in 'Discounted ... By a Lightning Strike!' at which main character Kaylon works. Located in La Défense, Paris, it has a formidable reputation for beating the market consistently. So much so, that its team discovers several anomalies in the current economic system, which dates back to the Cold War. As maybe well known among most readers, the Cold War was a struggle between roughly two camps: Communist and Liberal Capitalist. The end result of this conflict, which was not always as non-violent as history books suggest, was a victory of the Liberal Capitalist framework against Communism. It also led to the Unipolar World Order with the US as a global ‘policeman’. A comprehensive writing on this topic can be found in an article of the New Yorker on Francis Fukuyama.
