Wang Shuo: Joseph Nye and the Lost Art of Learning From History
Listen to the full version

The intellectual giants who shaped our understanding of the post-war world are departing, and with them, a vital appreciation for history’s hard-won lessons. Joseph Nye, the Harvard sage who developed the concept of “soft power,” was prominent among them. His insights into the anatomy of conflicts, and the paths to avoid them, feel more urgent than ever as a new generation seems determined to learn an old lesson the hard way.
Wang Shuo is the editor-in-chief of Caixin Media, China's leading business and finance media group. He won the State Street Institutional Press Award in 2014, was named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in 2012, and a Yale World Fellow in 2016. He’s also been honored as a young leader at major forums like Boao and Tallberg.
