Welcome!

I'm Benjamin Spacapan, a private equity associate and student of international relations and the developing world. My brother, John Spacapan, and I spend way too much time reading about and debating foreign policy, and decided to blast our thoughts onto the Internet for your enjoyment. We don't have all the answers, or even many answers, but hopefully our rambling will help you form your own opinions.  In case it isn't clear, everything we write here is our own opinions and unrelated to either of our employers.
