Safe, fast, cheap global movement of goods will soon be only a memory, and at the same time, the world's demographics will continue aging -- with ever-fewer young people to fill workforces and pay taxes (along with other demographic problems). That combination, plus other factors, will disrupt every nation -- a process which has already begun.
America will be better positioned than almost anywhere else -- as it has been for the past 150 years or more -- but the disruptions will still be serious even there.
The End of the World is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization by Peter Zeihan
Interested in an intelligent, well-sourced look at the world as different from the mainstream view as Q is from CRT? Zeihan, also author of The Accidental Superpower: The Next Generation of American Preeminence and the Coming Global Disorder, is an author you shouldn't miss.
From the book's Amazon page:
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.
This is a great comment. Thank you.
