The End Of The World Is Just The Beginning
A New York Times Bestseller!
2019 was the last great year for the world economy.
For generations, we have lived in an era where everything has become faster, better, and cheaper. We reached a point where almost anything you could desire could be delivered to your doorstep within days, if not hours, of you wanting it. This remarkable era of abundance and convenience was largely facilitated by the United States.
Through its economic policies, military power, and innovative industries, America enabled the development and maintenance of globe-spanning supply chains. The protection provided by the U.S. Navy ensured safe maritime trade routes, while the American dollar became the backbone of international energy and financial markets. American consumers’ demand led to the birth of complex, innovative industries. Furthermore, American security policies coerced warring nations into peace, enabling billions of people globally to benefit from education and adequate food supplies.
But what many don't realise is that all these advancements were temporary, artificially sustained by America's leadership. And now, the era of American interest in maintaining this global system is coming to an end.
In The End of the World is Just the Beginning, renowned geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan meticulously maps out an emerging world where countries or regions will inevitably have to become self-reliant. In this new reality, nations will need to produce their own goods, grow their own food, secure their own energy sources, and defend themselves, all while dealing with ageing and decreasing populations.
The array of countries capable of adapting to and thriving in this new environment is surprisingly limited. As a result, the interconnected global systems upon which we currently rely—such as manufacturing, agriculture, energy production, transportation, and financial systems—are poised for dramatic upheaval and transformation.
Zeihan escorts readers through this illuminating and somewhat alarming journey with keen insights, a sense of humour, and his characteristic irreverence. The End of the World is Just the Beginning is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the seismic shifts occurring in our world and what it means for the future of globalisation, economy, and geopolitical stability.
