Chapters 28, 30

 Chapter 28 talks about paradoxes that government is a part of. The first one is that people decline state power. It's unsafe when people are left alone for work. The second paradox is that the governments are established in North America and Europe. The final paradox is Asian states have achieved economic growth, industrialized, infrastructure, and living standards. Countries of Korea, Taiwan, and Japan have strong governments. Technology has made modern life go through change from economics and politics. It also changes of power in states and the market. There are three premises that the author argues. The first premise is that there is common activity with politics. The second is power can overcome the market systems. The third premise is that the authority in society can be influenced by agents  and can be acknowledge freely. 

Chapter 30 questions if the system of globalization has gone too far. The author focuses on three sources that are essential. The first one is that there should be some restrictions in terms of trade especially across international borders. Workers can be substituted for each other across borders as well. The second is that the system of globalization can cause conflicts between nations. With the growth of technology, shipments can be different in size causing possible outrage. The last source is that globalization can be difficult for governments. There needs to be effort to maintain and stabilize the social cohesion and political support.
