ABOUT 70 PER CENT OF THE WORLDS PEOPLE LIVE IN EURASIA AND MOST OF THE WORLDS WEALTH IS THERE ACCOUNTING FOR 60 PER CENT OF WORLD GNP HOW AMERICA MEASURES EURASIA IS CRITICALA In that context, how America manages Eurasia is critical. Eurasia is the globes largest continent and is geopolitically axial. A power that dominates Eurasia would control two of the worlds three most advanced and economically productive regions. A mere glance at the map also suggests that control over Eurasia would almost automatically entail Africas subordination, rendering the Western Hemisphere and Oceania geopolitically peripheral to the worlds central continent. About 75 per cent of the worlds people live in Eurasia, and most of the worlds physical wealth is there as well, both in its enterprises and underneath its soil. Eurasia accounts for 60 per cent of the worlds GNP and about three-fourths of the worlds known energy resources. (p.31)
