Summary
Peter Zeihan (@peterzeihan) is a geopolitical strategist, founder of the consulting firm Zeihan on Geopolitics, and author of The Absent Superpower, The Accidental Superpower, Disunited Nations, and The End of the World is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization.

- What the aftermath of this social upheaval might look like, and how we can be best prepared to emerge from the chaos intact.
- And much more...
