TLV Deep Dive: The History—and Future—of Globalization
August 31, 2019
Wishing you and yours a happy Labor Day Weekend!
In this TLV Deep Dive:- Which is better: globalism or nationalism? To understand their futures, we have to understand their pasts.Read More »
- The roots of globalism date back to the first time homo sapiens traded goods. The tension between the nation-state and global order is relatively new; what does this mean about the future of both? Especially with the introduction of internet and AI technologies, which are proving to supersede the nation-state?
- There are signals that the world might be in the throes of the uncomfortable, unpredictable demise of the modern era of globalization. Will a debate between the ideas of globalization and nationalism, capitalism and socialism suffice? Or will an entirely new concept carry us into a new era of globalization? And who will lead the charge? -

TLV | Happy 50th Lunar Landing Anniversary: July 20, 2019
"I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to earth. No single space project in this period will be more exciting, or more impressive, or more important for the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish."
- President John F. Kennedy, in a speech to Congress on May 25, 1961
Fifty years ago today, humans landed on the moon for the first time. From the moment President Kennedy declared this goal on May 25, 1961 to the moment Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins, and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin returned safely home on July 24, 1969, some 400,000 people were involved in the mission.
On this momentous anniversary, we invite you to reflect on what we are capable of when we dream big and work together.
Happy 50th Lunar Landing Anniversary!
