Revisiting the Past to Know the Present: The Spanish Flu, the Coronavirus, and the Political Risk Event of a Generation
by John C. Hulsman
24 March 2020
In this paper we discuss:
- The similarities and differences between the Spanish flu of 1918-20 and Covid-19;
- Why Covid represents the political risk event of the 21st century;
- How the world will look at the end of it, with China gaining ground at the expenses of the US and the EU facing yet another existential crisis; and
- Why countries should not under-estimate the threat of Covid: the second of the three waves of the Spanish flu was the deadliest.
