I'm 72 years old, and the America that I remember and grew up with is a different America

than it exists today in terms of like equal opportunity and the American dream.

Hello, and welcome to the G0 World podcast. This is where you'll find extended versions of

my interviews on public television. I'm Ian Bremmer,

and today we examine whether a new world order is in sight. After 40 years of extraordinary

growth, China is on a path to overtake the United States and become the world's largest economy.

exactly when that happens, more difficult, current economic indicators point to sometime around

the year 2030 real soon. But does China's rise have to mean America's decline? My guest today
