If you're tired of hearing the same old discussions about North Korean standoffs, Shepherd Iverson’s book could offer you a fresh perspective. It’s like thinking of global politics as a game of corporate takeovers. For anyone interested in international relations, this could be the intellectual shake-up you've been looking for, challenging conventional approaches with a market-centric twist. Plus, it's a chance to explore a solution that’s rarely considered in public discourse – investing in peace rather than enforcing it.
