Peter Zeihan's Stark Vision: The End of Globalization & The Dawn of A New Era

In this episode, we delve into Peter Zeihan's provocative perspective on the future, based on his 2022 book, 'The End of the World is Just the Beginning.' Zeihan argues that the American-led global order, which has defined world trade and security since 1945, is unraveling. He predicts the dismantling of globalization, a decline in production, investment, and trade, fueled by the US military's withdrawal from global commitments and the aging global population. Zeihan's thesis highlights how shifting geographies and demographics will reconfigure global economic systems, stressing the vulnerabilities in modern transport and energy networks, and foreshadowing significant geopolitical and social upheaval in different regions around the world.
