The End of the World Is Just the Beginning
In The End of the World is Just the Beginning, author and geopolitical analyst Peter Zeihan maps about 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 book is differentiated into six different sectors: transport, finance, energy, materials, manufacturing, and agriculture. Zeihan investigates the prospects for each major country, and applies a consistent analytical framework that leads him to envision each country within the mentioned sectors.
