Geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan explores the factors that led to our modern globalized world, the growing pains of aging populations in countries around the globe, and what a deglobalized world might look like in the coming decades.

The world has changed massively since the mid-20th century, with globalization and industrialization making life faster and cheaper than ever.

Yet, according to the author and geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan, the world will only get slower and more expensive as we move further into the 21st century because global populations are aging past the point of no return.

In The End of the World Is Just the Beginning, Zeihan analyzes the history of globalization to predict how our world will evolve.

Zeihan suggests the world's population will soon age beyond breaking point and that only a few countries, such as the U.S., are well-equipped to cope with the challenges our aging world will bring.
