Economie & Zakelijk
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.
In The End of the World is Just the Beginning, author and geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan maps out the next world: 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 list of countries that make it all work is smaller than you think. Which means everything about our interconnected world - from how we manufacture products, to how we grow food, to how we keep the lights on, to how we shuttle stuff about, to how we pay for it all - is about to change.
A world ending. A world beginning. Zeihan brings readers along for an illuminating (and a bit terrifying) ride packed with foresight, wit, and his trademark irreverence.
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Unnuanced essay with a limited view of the world. Teller emphasises the extreme writing style of the writer. Meaningless facts are represented as mind blowing discoveries. Only bestsellers are referenced, but not always correctly. Archaeologists, historians and geographers would have a more nuanced view on this winner/loser-hypothesis.

Indeed... de lever zelf is een beetje te overzigzelfigd door zijn manier van doen.Jammer. Maar ook dat de wereld denk ik toch meer ruggengraat heeft dan hij beweerd. Veel zaken zijn om over na te denken, maar the Amerikaanse flavors erop is net iets te..

Meest verschrikkelijke boek ooit gelezen. Een soort verheerlijking van Amerika… zeker niet aan te raden
