THE END OF THE WORLD IS JUST THE BEGINNING Mapping the Collapse of Globalization

A geopolitical strategist known for his irreverence uses his meticulous knowledge of global trends to warn listeners that the party will soon be over. Peter Zeihan's over-the-top narrating style--featuring wild pitch changes and a fast pace--provides some fun and balance in the face of his dire predictions. He says the global transportation systems that feed the world and allow multi-region manufacturing will soon crumble. The post WWII order the U.S. has been enforcing with its powerful navy will soon give way to anarchy across shipping lanes and widespread famine in countries that don't have the natural resources, weather, or skills to be self-sufficient. Backed by seemingly unassailable data and analysis, this warning will knock down conventional wisdom about where we are headed as a planet.
