A review by richardiporter
The Accidental Superpower: Ten Years On by Peter Zeihan

challenging funny informative reflective tense

5.0

Read this book! a sweeping set of predictions about the strategic future of the globe based in demography, geography, history, economics and politics. Often counter-intuitive and striking, made all he more so by revisiting 10 years on and evaluating areas hit, miss and not-yet predictions. Some key bullet sand things this changed my mind on to varying degrees 

-the US will have it the least bad of all the nations 

-China will have it the worst 

-Europe wont be much better off 

-Canada is likely to be torn apart 

-Russia is more dangerous than I thought - its mostly the nukes. 

-the drug war in the US is likely the biggest strategic threat to worry about, other than nuclear war 

All this and more can be yours for the reading or listening as readby the author. 

5 Stars, Loved the book, recommend it to anyone, will read again, changed my mind about something important
