Peter Zeihan argues that the conditions supporting deeply integrated global trade are weakening and that countries will face sharply different adjustment pressures.
The book connects demographics, energy, agriculture, manufacturing, and transportation in a forecast of a more fragmented world economy.
It concludes the Zeihan sequence by asking how resilience and vulnerability might change when long-distance economic relationships become harder to sustain.
Why I include it
I recommend the book for connecting energy, food, manufacturing, and population trends with the possibility of a major shift in global systems.
