Peter Zeihan is a big noise these days.
He put in a stellar appearance on Joe Rogan.
He's got a new book out: The End of the World is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization.
Zeihan is making big-picture geopolitics cool, creating a mass audience for the kinds of things we do at Multipolarity.
But the lads also have some issues with PZ. His takes can seem awfully deterministic. And he's obsessed with demography, in a way that seems to miss more subtle factors at play.
In this special Q&A episode, we're layered in on one question, sent by a listener, and answered it for over one hour and twenty minutes, as a way of getting to grips with Zeihanism, and what it can teach us.
Is America the only true geopolitical fortress state?
Is China already in the maw of inevitable population collapse and decline?
Is US Naval retreat from the high seas really going to sever the cords of globalisation?
Is Europe screwed?
The lads take each area in turn, for a full world-view world tour. An odyssey of contra-Zeihan.
