are you excited i know i'm excited why it's april 14. two months from today the new book
the end of the world is just the beginning hits bookstores and the digital platforms near you
uh the end of the world is just beginning has been coming for 10 years now everything
about my professional career and my speaking career and my consulting career has kind of
poured into this book and whereas my previous works such as disunited nations the accents
accidental superpower and the absent superpower are all about the rise and fall of nations and
the players and the powers of the future the new book end of the world deals with the other side
of globalization and about all the aspects of modern economic activity and how they work and
why they work and how they've come to be how they are and how they're going to look on the
other side of all of this breakdown so it's all about the future of agriculture and industrial
materials and manufacturing and finance and transport it covers a lot of ground now
it is available for pre-order in all formats right now of course on your favorite digital
platforms but i'd also encourage you to go to something called indiebound i-n-d-i-e-b-o
dot com indie bound is a network of local book stores so you can type in your zip code
and find your local bookstore pre-order it there buy it there whatever works
we're also selling signed copies on the website direct just go to www.zeihan.com and look for the
books tab that's where we'll be we're going to be dropping a lot of information in the weeks to come
graphics summations things that link current events especially with the ukraine war to the
book so you can see the transition in action even before the book drops but for now we're going to
follow up this video with a series of tweets and text at the bottom of this newsletter page showing
you the tables of content so you can get an idea of specifically what you're going to get into
before you get into it hey everyone peter zion here coming to you from colorado it's been about
a week since the russians invaded ukraine and the staff and i are working overtime to try to bring
you as many updates and newsletters and videos as we possibly can in doing so we have tapped into a
bit of a demand for the services that we provide so we have a lot of new twitter followers the the
newsletter is almost doubled in the last week and so for all of those of you who are new welcome
we're going to do the best that we can i did want to give the new folks a bit of a backgrounder
there are three books that the staff and i have put together to this point the first one is the
accidental superpower that's where it all started it kind of lays out our world view on demographics
and energy and global power and globalization give an idea of where the weaknesses and the strengths
in the system are right now there's a big fat section in there one of the major crises in
the future is how the russian the european space interfaces this is the first place that we did the
prediction of the russians ultimately moving into ukraine so great starting point book number two
is the absent superpower this one was a little more touch and go we started by dealing with
the shale revolution itself and showing how it was going to remake american energy american industry
american foreign policy and when you remove the americans from the system and countries
start going their own way out of desperation or opportunity you get wars one of those wars
was the russian invasion of ukraine now unlike accidental which was picked up by a mainline
publisher hashette thank you to the folks at hashet absent was not absent was a self-publish
because we could not find a single publisher that didn't come back to us with some sort of
line like no no shell's going to disappear within a couple of years when it's actually
now something like 85 percent of american energy production to shale and the second big pushback
we got was oh no countries don't invade one another anymore that is very old-time thinking
okay third book dis united nations this is the new one it came out seconds before
covid descended upon us all this united nations instead of going for kind of from the big
threads of history brings it down to the here and now and it talks about the major countries
that we think of as the ones that are going to dominate the future brazil russia china germany
and breaks the stereotype explains why these are not likely to even be countries in the not too
distant future instead we elevate the countries that we think are going to rise to dominate the
human condition turkey japan argentina and france okay now this is not me trying to sell books
the goal of this is to get people integrated into what we're doing so you can
have a baseline you can have informed discussions with other people
to that end any books that we sell between march 1 and march sorry march 1 and may
31 so the three month period every cent of every royalties that we would have gotten we are
donating to the alfia foundation that's afya foundation.org they deal with medical emergency
relief specifically for the ukrainian refugees that have had to flee their homes whether they're
in ukraine or proper and then of course the people who have stayed behind to to fight for their homes
if you're looking for a good cause to donate it's hard to go wrong with that you could also
consider things like the red cross global kitchen and unicef who are all becoming very very active
in what has turned into the most brutal war zone that we have seen since the chechen war already
and it's probably going to get significantly worse in the next six months wow well i know i'm going
to let you go because you got to jump on your next thing but books absolutely amazing thank you so
much for putting all this work and thought uh into everything that you do whether it's the books or a
talk on you can see a lot of those on youtube um but uh thank you so much for uh for all of this
all this work that you do uh and then you have another book that's coming out june 14th and then
it has the longest title i think of uh any book on my shelf and it's uh luckily i got an earlier
copy so thank you so much for for sending that um but the end of the world is just the beginning
and uh so what are you exploring in that one uh just in the couple minutes that we have
that we have left sure the three books that are out so far the rise and fall of nations
the the future of the human condition this new one is getting a lot more personal it talks about
all the economic sectors the future of energy the future of agriculture the future of manufacturing
how we got to where we are and what it is going to look like on the back side
of a global breakdown in trade and wow you got that down awesome the pitch down um but uh i want
to encourage everybody to read get the new book pre-order it right now read these other books
before you just start tweeting or before you just start retweeting things that other people
