William Jones: G7 – Upholding a dying order
Perhaps not since the Congress of Vienna in 1814 has a limited group of nations attempted to set up a world order in which they made the rules for the rest of the world. Missing in that group was the United States, indeed the entire Western hemisphere, most of which was still under the colonial boot as well as the most populous Chinese Empire.
