Peter Zeihan: Navigating Reindustrialization in a Deglobalized World
The world we’ve known and loved is going away, which means the US will have to pull itself up by its bootstraps and get to work…because there is a massive defense buildout and reindustrialization looming on the horizon.
The first order of business is figuring out the energy situation. Tariffs and policy decisions are limiting solutions, so localities that want to benefit from reshoring need to solve their own power generation and grid issues. Then we have the people problem; there are simply not enough skilled tradespeople to carry out the reindustrialization effort. And lastly, we have the defense buildout. While this sparked an economic boom and pushed the limits of innovation in the past, this time around…we won’t be so lucky.
Peter Zeihan is a geopolitical strategist, which is a fancy way of saying he helps people understand how the world works. He combines an expert understanding of demography, economics, energy, politics, technology, and security to help clients best prepare for an uncertain future.
Peter is also a New York Times best-selling author whose first three books — The Accidental Superpower, The Absent Superpower and Disunited Nations — have been recommended by Mitt Romney, Fareed Zakaria, and Ian Bremmer. Peter’s fourth book, The End of the World is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization, was published in June 2022 and was a New York Times bestseller.
With a keen eye toward what will drive tomorrow’s headlines, his irreverent approach transforms topics that are normally dense and heavy into accessible, relevant takeaways for audiences of all types. Contact WWSG to host Peter Zeihan.
