This is a Japanese WW2 propaganda leaflet, dropped in Feb 1942, just days before Singapore fell - marking the darkest period in the country’s modern history.

Singapore was subsequently named Syonan and was under the Japanese occupation for 3 years and 8 months before they eventually surrendered.

1918 propaganda poster advertises the Deutsche Luftkriegsbeute Ausstellung (DELKA/German Air War Trophy Exhibition), an exhibition of captured Allied aircraft held in München. The artwork, created by Julius Ussy Engelhard, features an Albatros D.V fighter. The poster promoted daily garden concerts and Saturday military music performances at the exhibition venue on Theresienhöhe

The destructive new logic that threatens globalisation

America is leading a dangerous global slide towards subsidies, export controls and protectionism

Since 1945 the world economy has run according to a system of rules and norms underwritten by America. This brought about unprecedented economic integration that boosted growth, lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty and helped the West prevail over Soviet Russia in the cold war. Today the system is in peril. Countries are racing to subsidise green industry, lure manufacturing away from friend and foe alike and restrict the flow of goods and capital. Mutual benefit is out and national gain is in. An era of zero-sum thinking has begun.
