Thomas Barnett was the epitome of the disruptive thinker in the early 00s. His classic work, “The Pentagon’s New Map” inspired outside-the-box thinking all across government. Just the other day I was wondering what happened to Mr Barnett so I checked out his website and found that he is alive and well. He’s also still at it, taking a critical look at the world we live in and providing honest analysis on his blog. If you are interested in a different point of view on global economics and political freedom and how it effects the US, then you need to make a regular stop to read Thomas Barnett.

Folks that aren’t stuck on the ‘tacti-cool’ level know Barnett never went anywhere…
Funny how you posted one of his older books, “The Pentagon’s New Map”, (April 22, 2004) but not his more recent ones, “Blueprint for Action” (05) or “Great Powers: America and the World after Bush” (09).
Also funny that there are dozens of comments on the other posts but not a single one here until mine.
He was made famous by PNM. I’m not surprised no one commented. It’s not exactly gear related.
