About this listen
This episode dissects the true nature of conflict among the global superclasses—multibillionaires, corporate giants, and influential politicians. While genuine geo-strategic rivalries exist, such as the ideological and technological tensions between Western liberal democracies (Big Tech CEOs, bankers) and authoritarian elites (China/Russia), the evidence strongly supports a model of "cyclical dance" (or baile cíclico) rather than permanent war. We examine how this "superclass" network, despite its factions, consistently gathers at forums like Davos or the G20, collaborating during major crises (like COVID-19 or economic downturns) to ensure system stability and preserve the status quo. The conflicts—such as trade wars or polarization—are often tactical, creating cycles that allow elites who temporarily lose ground (like progressives in a nationalist era) to eventually return, ensuring the continuation of a system that benefits the collective superclass by preventing radical structural reforms.
