Jared Cohenという名前は第五の権力という
最近、書店に山積みになっているベストセラーになるかもしれない
名著のエリック シュミットの共著者だ。

アメリカにはつぎからつぎへと
あたらしい才能がでてくるがこの男もその一人に違いない。
去年のタイムズにも世界の100人のなかに名前があがっている。
そして本にも紹介されているが

Following his internship and graduation, Cohen served as a member of the Secretary of State's Policy Planning Staff from 2006 to 2010. He was 24 years of age. His service began under former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice,[16] during the Bush Administration.

In her book No Higher Honor, Condoleezza Rice writes of Cohen:

When he [Steve Krasner] came to the State Department, Steve brought together a terrific staff of 'young guns' to push new ideas. One of his most inspired appointments came in 2006, when he hired the twenty-something Jared Cohen, who'd been a student at Stanford and had taken a four-month sojourn on his own in Iran. He would use his position at Policy Planning to begin to integrate social media into our diplomatic tool kit. That would pay off handsomely some years later, when Twitter and Facebook became accelerants of democratic change in the Middle East.[17]

タイムズの記事がただしいというわけでもないが
この第五の権力はなかなか迫力がある。
なにしろグーグルには人材と金のどちらもそろっていて
よいアイデアの実現力があるので
そこいらの未来予測家などよりもずーっと
高い精度の予測をするだろう。
