The End of the World Is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization
Introduction Zeihan begins by setting the stage for his thesis: the world as we know it is undergoing a seismic shift. The global supply chains, trade routes, and political alliances that have been in place since the end of World War II are fracturing. Zeihan suggests that the very systems that have supported globalization are now leading to its downfall. He argues that the United States, which has been the linchpin of global stability, is retreating from its role as the world's policeman and economic leader.

Exploring Myanmar
Myanmar's shift from seclusion to accessibility has been a swift one since 2011, with the country embracing reforms and opening up to the world. The IW River serves as a vital artery for transportation in Myanmar, linking significant historical sites. Living in a Buddhist nation along the river brings a unique perspective. The river's constantly shifting navigable channel is due to the large amounts of sediment it carries from the mountains. In a riverside village, the tradition of domesticated elephants with personal trainers is deeply rooted. Women spend long hours working barefoot in the cold water, amidst the deafening noise of pumps. Gold is transported on ramps with flowing water. The influence of British writer George Orwell can be seen in Qatar, particularly in his novel 'Burmese Days,' which highlights the British elite's elitism and arrogance. Tin Andai's business relies heavily on the river and the famous Napier fish found in Qatar. Mr. U Tin Tang, a fisherman, shares a house with his extended family of 28 people. The presence of dolphins in the river uniquely aids fishermen. Bamboo is a crucial commodity transported widely on the river, with families journeying downstream on rafts. Mandalay, the former royal capital of the Burmese Kingdom, now presents a modern facade. British troops dethroned Mandalay in 1885, and the city, with a population of 1.6 million, remains deeply influenced by Buddhism. Monasteries in Mandalay offer free education and internet access to young monks and orphans, with the Fang Dau monastic school being renowned for its dedication to providing education to those in need.
