2019 was the last great year for the 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 world 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.
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.
In customary Zeihan fashion, rather than yelling fire in the geoeconomic theatre, he narrates the accumulation of matchsticks, gasoline, and dynamite in the hands of the oblivious audience, suggesting we might want to call the fire department.
A world ending. A world beginning. Zeihan brings readers along for an illuminating (and a bit terrifying) ride packed with foresight, wit, and his trademark irreverence.

Truely was
>suggesting we might want to call the fire department.
lol thats where youre wrong
How much i long for the past, but it's too late now
The good times will only sink further and further back into the fog of time
Bascially it says how the liberal world order will fall apart, not a collapse of society but of international rules-we will see wars and competition and famines like in the old days
It's only terrifying if you are American.
Other countries learned tremendously from America and want to emulate, so even if America loses, other countries will still produce computer chips i.e., China and Taiwan.
Other countries will still support IT systems i.e., India, SEA countries, maybe some Anglophone countries in Africa.
Other countries will still continue producing tools with importing skilled labours i.e., Germany and Japan.
America can still survive, but they need to think in a more holistic way, they still have time. America will still come out on the top
>world economy
you need to understand that there is no longer such a thing. the former "world economy" is the Western economy, and it's done. The Eastern economy, on the other hand...
Don't worry guys, he want a 5 star review on amazon
In this book, he says America is going to come out on top
>collapse of global trade
>return of isolationism
>population decline
>nations that can't adapt are destroyed
Sounds like Bronze Age Collapse 2.0.
>support IT systems i.e., India, SEA countries, maybe some Anglophone countries in Africa
Based Zeihan shill thread
I really like him for geopolitics and the synopsis is:
>Europe is fucked due to demographics and energy insecurity
>China is fucked due to demographics
>Russia is dying and in its death throes
>USA is going down but way less than the rest of the world due to decent population demographics and fracking
>places like Turkey and Argentina should become way better within the next 50 years as they become regional powers due to their geographic gifts
>Sounds like Bronze Age Collapse 2.0.
Fingers crossed
Ya
Lol dude we still have vast forests and mountains and clean water and infinite empty land. 95% of Europoors have nowhere to run or hide you would have to return to serfdom but with 100x the people. Even with 200 mil we could still be a nation of free homesteaders and craftsmen. The countries longest civilized will be screwed the most
cringe jew burger boomer
everytime this faggot is mentioned it is because his publisher has paid someone to advertise him, stop giving faggots attention and they disappear like willow the wisp
>2019 was the last great year for the world economy.

it's mostly a generic book about resources and transport.
