Hudson’s major blind spot is his upbringing in a communist/socialist paradigm so he views it as the ultimate economic and governance framework.
I like him a lot and his book super imperialism is a must read for understanding US global financial strategy but he defaults to analysis from a socialist Marxist lens.
Although he does acknowledge that China and Russia are examples of mixed economies and they work.
The MultiPolar Global Civilization in the making--represented by BRICS--cannot be "socialist" (whatever that means) because that would impose an ideology on its member states--which is contrary to the multipolar concept. If you read my special article, you will notice that I talk a lot about the Dunbar Number and Paleo societies. Paleo societies were never larger than 150 members and fiercely egalitarian. No "chiefs". Everyone was a chief! No ideologies. There was not doctrine or dogma. Resources were shared -- that is so. But that was also because they were mostly obtained through group action. People didn't work much. Maybe 15 hours a week. The rest of the time was spent playing, having sex, and making things (tools and art). Not just the Original Affluent Society (Sahlins, Gray, et al) but the Original Leisure society. Marxism is all about "work" and "workers". What if there are no workers.
