Who said what

Ian Bremmer💬 Mentioned
…explaining a framework about how countries achieve stability through openness or closure
“I had this, the first big book that I wrote back in 2006 was called The J-Curve. And I doubt you even remember it, right? It's a long time ago. Who doesn't remember The J-Curve? Yeah, exactly. It was a small thing. At the time it was big for me. And it was about how countries did and didn't fall apart. The J is the relationship between openness and stability.”
