Crinoline and croquet are out. As yet, no political
activists have thrown themselves in front of the
royal horse on Derby Day. Even so, some
historians can spot the parallels. It is a time of
rapid technological change: It is a period when the
dominance of the world's superpower is coming
under threat. It 'is an epoch when prosperity
masks underlying economic strain. And, crucially,
it is a time when policy -makers are confident that

Welcome to the Edwardian Summer of the second
age of globalization.
Spa-e a moment to take stock of wha' s
bee.n happening in the past few months. Let's sta-t
with the oil price, which has rocketed to more
than $65 a barrel, more than double its level 18
months ago. The accepted wisdom is that we
shouldn' t worry our little heads about that,
because the incentives are there for business to
build new pro duction and refining capacity, which
will effo rtlessly bring demand and supply back
into balance and bring crude prices back to $25 a
barrel. As Tommy Cooper used to say, 'just like
that' .
Then there is the result of the French
referendum on the European Constitution, seen as
thick -headed luddites railing vainly against the
modem world . Wha the French needed to realize,
the a-gument went, was that there was no
alternative to the reforms tha would make the
country more flexible, more competitive, more
dynamic. Just the so rt of reforms that allowed
Gate Gourmet to sack hundreds of its staff at
Heathrow after the sort of ultimatum that used to
be handed out by Victorian mill owners. An
alternative way of looking at the French "non" is
that our nei ghbours trans! ate "flexibility" a•
"you're fired".

Second, the world is traditionally at its

century, Britain' s role as the hegemonic power

States, Germany, and Jap an while the Ottoman
and Hapsburg empires were clearly in rapid
decline. Looking ahead from 2005, it is clear that
over the next two or three decades, both China
and India -which together account for half the
world's population- will flex their muscles.
Finally, there is the question of what rising oil
prices tell us. The emergence of China and India
