Alas, Mr Xi’s “great changes” await their historians. Good histories take time to write and the rivalry between America and China is comparatively new.

This is the sort of classic text that important people tote around in their briefcases and sometimes even read. Published in 1987, Paul Kennedy’s tome argues that great powers depend upon military might, which in turn depends on economic strength. As they rise their military spending tends to rise. But if they undermine their economies by spending too much, they are doomed to decline. This thesis goes back to Machiavelli if not before.
