"A fascinating new book that says you ain't seen nothing yet." —Fareed Zalaria, IVos/»/V?gton Post
In THE ACCIDENTAL SUPERPOWER, international strategist Peter Zeihan examines how the hard rules of geography are eroding the American commitment to free trade; how much of the planet is aging into a mass retirement that will enervate markets and capital supplies; and how, against all odds; it is the ever-favenous American economy that—alone among the develpped nations—is rapidly approaching energy independence.

For most, that is a disaster-in-walting, but not for the Americans. The shale revolution allows Americans to sidestep an increasingly dangerous energy market. Only the United States boasts a youth population large enough to escape the sucking maw of global aging. Most important, geography will matter more than ever in a de-globalizing world, and America's geography is simply sublime.
First released in 2014, THE ACCIDENTAL SUPERPOWER plumbed the depths of our rapidly changing world. In this 10-year anniversary release, Zeihan both chronicles the past ten years of geopolitical history and carries the story forward into a new decade.
"In this intriguing booi, Zeihan males the case that geography still matters." —Foreign Affairs Vissza
