McWhorter. Power Shift The Rise of the Southern Rim and Its Challenge to the Eastern Establishment by John H. McWhorter In this thought-provoking book, John H. McWhorter explores the concept of power shift and its impact on the world. He argues that the rise of the Southern Rim and its challenge to the Eastern Establishment represents a fundamental change in the way we think about power and its relationship to technology. The book examines how the rapid pace of technological advancement has led to a shift in power dynamics, creating new opportunities and challenges for individuals, organizations, and societies. The author begins by discussing the traditional view of power as held by the Eastern Establishment, which posits that power resides in the hands of a select few who control the levers of government, economy, and culture. However, he argues that this view is no longer relevant in today's society, where technology has democratized access to information and created new forms of power that are not controlled by any single entity. Instead, power is now distributed among a wide range of actors, from individuals to small groups, and even nation-states. The book then delves into the rise of the Southern Rim, a region that has historically been marginalized but is now emerging as a major player in global affairs.
