About the author
Peter Zeihan is an American geopolitical analyst and author who writes about demographics, energy, trade, transport, geography, and the international order. His books make broad forecasts by connecting these structural factors.
The End of the World Is Just the Beginning argues that globalization depends on security and demographic conditions that are weakening. Its country-level predictions are deliberately sweeping and should be read as a scenario-driven thesis rather than a neutral forecast.
Where to start
Start with The End of the World Is Just the Beginning for Zeihan's argument about deglobalization, then test its forecasts against current trade and demographic evidence.
