This greatly diminished labor force―not solely in the Asian region―is a problem across the globe. He makes the case that as the older generation (like America’s baby boomers) retires, there are not enough younger bodies to fill their spots. Many countries, and Zeihan points out that those in the Southeast Asian region have done the most self-inflicted harm, have become depopulated rather than repopulated. “The End of the World Is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization” by Peter Zeihan pinpoints many, many, many reasons why the end of globalization is here. There are, however, two specific reasons the author lays much of the blame on: credit financing and the decline of population growth. “The End of the World Is Just the Beginning” pinpoints many, many, many reasons why the end of globalization is here, but you’ll need to read the book for those. And of course, why they will suffer the consequences of their own decisions or the decisions of other countries. He details what makes them successful and what makes them unsuccessful (that is, their imports and exports, infrastructure, government structure, geolocation, and so on). Zeihan discusses every region from the Americas to the Middle East to sub-Saharan Africa to Europe to Southeast Asia to Australia, and more. The author of this new work gives both: what will happen to a nation in the coming years (if not months) and why those things will happen. Ask for details and you will inevitably get a deer-in-the-headlights look. An Incredibly Thorough Nation-by-Nation BreakdownĪsk a random stranger whether Country A will do well or Country B will falter or Country C will collapse, and chances are-depending on the media coverage provided on that specific nation (say, Russia, China, America, or even Venezuela)-his or her educated guess might be correct. But it would be an exaggerated stretch to think you would know the extent of Zeihan’s assessments and predictions.
If you pay attention to the news, then you might know some of what is taking place in various regions of the world. He has dedicated his time and efforts to understanding what has happened in the world of geopolitics among neighboring countries as well as cross-Atlantic and cross-Pacific nations.
Zeihan is one of the nation’s leading geopolitical strategists. Yes, this is a book about impending bad news, and calling it “bad news” is definitely an understatement. Thankfully, he has an endearing sense of humor otherwise, it might be difficult to stomach all the bad news. Peter Zeihan’s “The End of the World Is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization” is as sobering as its title. However, if you want to know what is going on in the world, what is going to happen around the globe, and why those things are going to happen, then this is a book that you’ll want to pick up. If you are looking for a nice pick-me-up book, this is not the one for you.
