-1980s, and so, you know, perhaps the most dramatic event of our era was in 1989, the fall of the berlin wall, the collapse of the communist empire, in the rejoining of huge numbers of companies -- and the rejoining of a huge number of countries. you site transformation of economies in asia, india, -- you saw the transformation of economies. this was a period of optimism, really up until the financial crisis, with the troubles of 9/11, with western europe doing well, and when western power, particularly after the collapse of the berlin wall, this is the 20 years of one moment, and we are in a much more troubling era, and as a result, political, as well. there are new rivalries emerging, which is what i am writing about in my book. tavis: what is going on in egypt, does that go more towards the world is getting better or worse? >> well, we will see, will we not? if things worked out well, then it does in some sense fit into what i call the age of optimism. before 2008, characterized by the belief of the spread of democracy, the spread of markets. in theory, egypt, africa, the european uni
