I agree that the "West" is in a decline, and I'm hopeful we can get out of it. The issue I have with these articles is that it suggests the "West" has always ruled the world, when reality is a bit different. The US was never hegemonic over Russia, China, or India. China also has some serious issues to tackle related to their massive growth and demographic problems. This is made worse by their unwillingness to open up their markets and try to fight the US on consumer spending - which powers much of the economic power that the US has. China tries to control the narrative as it is advantageous to do so. Reality is, I think India's economy has more chance to overtake the world than China but nothing is for certain.
