“Some countries just aren’t going to emerge from the Coronavirus.”
Peter Zeihan is one of the world’s foremost geopolitical experts. In his new book “Disunited Nations: The Scramble for Power in an Ungoverned World,” Zeihan argues that we’re at the end of the largest expansionary period in human history. As America withdraws from global leadership, a totally new (and for most parts of the world, more painful) ‘normal’ will emerge. 
On this episode of The Breakdown, Zeihan joins @NLW to discuss why the Coronavirus crisis is rapidly accelerating the end of the era of globalization. 

How the American-led global order used the dollar as the tool to keep the world together 

Why geopolitics and demography are coinciding to end the era of globalization 

Why Covid-19 will spark a massive return of American manufacturing 

Why, when it comes to the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency “Never before has the “exorbitant privilege” of being the world’s reserve currency felt more exorbitant or more like a privilege. 

Why the crisis could spell the end for the Euro 

Why China isn’t nearly as well positioned in the post globalization era as many assume 

Why the best positioned countries in the coming era are the US, Japan, Argentina, France and Turkey
