Review of 'The J Curve' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

The most important idea from this book is the foreign policy implication in the conclusion. Bremmer suggests that policy experts consider how policy affects both supply AND demand. So, for example, one would seek to address both the demand for drugs and the supply for drugs. Or one would address both the supply of terrorism (by bombing them/knocking out their communications) and the demand for terrorism(economic growth/help stability of countries in the area, etc.)
