The true state of affairs in geopolitics and global finance is not readily accessible to today’s average citizen. Fortunately, James S. Gibson (a former country CEO with a major global bank) has addressed that issue in his new book, From West to East: The Greatest Transfer of Power and Wealth in the History of Mankind . Gibson contends that the corporate-controlled mainstream media of the West has been misleading society. Beholden to special interests, Western media outlets either falsely portray or blatantly ignore the events occurring within the international financial system, as well as the geopolitical actions and intentions of global superpowers—the United States, Russia, and China. Gibson, whose banking career included twenty-five years in the Middle and Far East, reveals that there has been a gradual, but massive, transfer of power and wealth from the West to the East over the last thirty-five years that has gone largely unnoticed and unreported. The elites in the West seek to maintain a US-unipolar world, while the East seeks a multipolar world. Gibson provides deeply informative insights into this shift in the global economy and power structure, as well as an intelligent examination of the consequences it may have for the world at large.
