About
Geopolitics of Control is a blog that unravels the relationships between power, debt, and structures of domination that shape the contemporary world.
The project
This blog was born from the need to understand how real power works: not the kind displayed in speeches, but the kind that operates through debt, financial institutions, geopolitical strategies, and mechanisms of social control.
Through rigorous and accessible articles, we analyze the ideas of thinkers who have decoded these dynamics:
- Bertrand de Jouvenel — The expansive nature of political power
- David Graeber — The real history of debt and the myth of barter
- Maurizio Lazzarato — The making of the indebted man as a docile subject
- Michel Foucault — Biopolitics and the control of life
- Pedro Baños — The 7 levers of global domination
- Eduardo Galeano and Aníbal Quijano — The plunder of Latin America and the coloniality of power
- Brzezinski and Mackinder — The grand chessboard and Eurasian geopolitics
- John Perkins — Debt traps of the Third World
- Kwame Nkrumah and Thomas Sankara — Resistance to neocolonialism
The themes
Each article explores a chapter of this story:
- Power and its expansion — How power self-amplifies and why no one stops it
- Debt as a tool — From the first civilizations to the International Monetary Fund
- Geopolitics of control — The global chessboard and strategies of domination
- Resistance — Those who opposed it and what it cost them
The goal
This is not about conspiracies, but structures. Not about secrets, but documented mechanisms. The goal is for every reader to understand how power operates in their daily life and why debt is not just a financial problem, but a political, social, and existential one.
