For almost four years we've been speculating about the end of a certain period of history and hoo boy is it here!

In this part one of the thirteenth installment of HIAW, Matt and Sean return to talk about the roots of this current turbulence: What are the forces aligned for and against the 'rules-based international order'? How has the calculus of the various ruling classes changed in this zero-sum moment? Are there even good guys or bad guys to root for? And how has the seeming exit of the working class from history worked out for humanity? Not so good, it seems...

In part two we delve into the muck and mire of the XXth century, the hopes and dreams of communism, and the bitter denouement of 1991.
