Thanks for the reference. I like to look at a variety of views.

It is important to remember that part of the human condition is to be ideologically oriented, and that would include Naisbitt. For example, this trait has manifested in one funny Brit (Gavin Menzies) writing a fable about some improbable Chinese naval voyages in 1421. Westerners have had a fascination about China ever since Marco Polo wrote about his visit to Mongol dominated China.

I take a fairly pragmatic view of things, and look at outcomes over time rather than just believe what people say about past events or what they claim they intend to do. While my tertiary training is in economics/accounting, I have enjoyed reading history books since early High School and believe I have the ability to arrive at a soundly based view.
