A truly polycentric world would be just fine, assuming all countries had shared values. Of course my bias is naturally the shared values of Romano Hellenism modified by Judeo Christianity, modified by English Common Law. Well, the chance of the world adopting that uniformly is nil. Therefore, geopolitical power plays reign supreme. And I darn well want to see my own pole of power dominent to the extent practicable.

Aren't you afraid the great concentration of power in one place would lead to the great corruption and to the loss of freedom?

Did you look into your own motives, like pride and desire of collective glory?

Of course my bias is naturally the shared values of Romano Hellenism modified by Judeo Christianity, modified by English Common Law.

But this "bias" includes the virtue of moderation, of self-restraint and awareness how dangerous the hubris is (look at my tagline). Don't you agree?
