First up with The End of the World is Just the Beginning, a sprawling jeremiad about the collateral damage of the breakdown of the globalist system. How you feel about this book will depend on how much you believe in demographic determinism, but even if you don't, there has been a lot of irresponsible governance that is going to be hard to overcome if hundreds of millions are not to starve (the author's worst-case scenario). In particular, Zeihan doesn't think much of the chances of the current regime in Beijing.
