A New York Times Bestseller! 2019 was the last great year for the globalized world economy. For generations everything has been getting faster better and cheaper. Finally we reached the point that almost anything you could ever want could be sent to your home within days - even hours - of when you decided you wanted it. America made that happen but now America has lost interest in keeping it going. Globe-spanning supply chains are only possible with the protection of the U.S. Navy. The American dollar underpins internationalized energy and financial markets. Complex innovative industries were created to satisfy American consumers. American security policy forced warring nations to lay down their arms. Billions of people have been fed and educated as the American-led trade system spread across the globe. All of this was artificial. All this was temporary. All this is ending. In The End of the World is Just the Beginning author and geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan maps out the next world: a reality of deglobalization where countries or regions will have no choice but to make their own goods grow their own food secure their own energy fight their own battles and do it all with populations that are both shrinking and aging. This bracing work of geopolitical forecasting shows the list of countries that make it all work is smaller than you think. Which means everything about our interconnected world - from how we manufacture products to how we grow food to how we keep the lights on to how we shuttle stuff about to how we pay for it all - is about to change. A world ending. A world beginning. Zeihan brings readers along for an illuminating (and a bit terrifying) ride packed with economic foresight wit and his trademark irreverence. In this provocative forecast Zeihan explains what the collapse of globalization means for our way of life: Demographic Collapse: Why shrinking aging populations around the world-especially in China-mean the end of mass consumption and economic growth as we know it. Supply Chain Disruption: A world where countries must make their own goods grow their own food and secure their own energy when globe-spanning supply chains shatter. The Future of Energy: How the systems that keep the lights on and fuel our world will be forced to radically change region by region. American Isolationism: Why the United States which created and protected the globalized order has lost interest-and how it can benefit from the collapse.
