Summary of Peter Zeihan's The End of the World is Just the Beginning

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 We were wanderers because we were hungry. We wandered with the seasons to places with more abundant roots, nuts, and berries. We followed the animal migrations because that’s where the steaks were.

#2 The first rule of geopolitics is location matters, and which locations matter more changes with the technology of the day. The first Geography of Success was all about range and variety. Good nutrition meant being able to tap multiple types of plants and animals.

#3 Rivers that flow through low-latitude and low-altitude deserts are the only places on Earth that have all three of the following: long, sun-filled days, multi-cropping, and fast-flowing, straight rivers.

#4 The first stages of agriculture were difficult, and required a lot of labor. Rivers helped us flush this problem, as they enabled us to transfer a bit of a river’s kinetic energy to a milling apparatus. With the farm-to-table process becoming less labor intensive, we began generating food surpluses.
