are not caused or controlled by these powerful interests, but merely manipulated and capitalized upon. They're of the opinion that Quigley exposes the globalist plot to establish an internationally governed neo-feudalism, with the elitist banking interests controlling everything for their own benefit.īut, as far as I can tell, the actual main thesis of Tragedy and Hope seems to be:Ī) Powerful groups of wealthy individuals and captains of finance and industry congregate together in the same social and political circles to discuss where their mutual interests align and how they might work together,ī) These people use their wealth and influence to attempt to shape policy to their advantage, or whatever other ends they see fit at that time, andĬ) Significant events such as WWII, the Cold War, the rise of leftist social/economic movements in the late 19th/early 20th century, etc. The conspiracy theorists' view seems more in line with the Cliffnotes' version 'The Naked Capitalist,' written by a different author. Recently came across the author Carroll Quigley and his works 'Tragedy and Hope,' and 'The Anglo American Establishment.' I see they are often quoted by everyone from anti-globalists, to conspiracy theorists, to mainstream historians. Instructions and advice on how to best do an AMA.
