The End of the World is Only the Beginning

Everything has become fast, close, and cheap. All of this is coming to an end.

Over the last few generations, everything has become faster, closer, and cheaper. Whatever we want, it arrives at our door in days, or hours.

The United States of America made it possible, but now they have lost interest in maintaining this state of affairs. It turns out that global supply chains are only possible with the protection of the American navy; international energy and financial markets are only possible with the support of the American dollar; US security policy forced warring nations to lay down their arms; billions of people were fed and educated in an American-led system.

Everything was artificial. Everything was temporary. Everything is coming to an end.

In The End of the World Is Just the Beginning, geopolitical author and strategist Peter Zeihan proves that the list of countries that make everything work is smaller than people think and maps out the next world order: one in which countries or regions will have no choice but to produce their own goods, grow their own food, secure their own energy, and fight their own battles.
