The New World Order Is Here — Modern Wisdom: Zeihan on Geopolitics, Energy & AI
Update: 2025-12-04
Description
Hook: The next era favors countries with geography, resources, and demographics — and Peter Zeihan argues the U.S. benefits because others are materially constrained. Condensed from 1 hour to 5 minutes, this Modern Wisdom summary with host Chris Williamson and guest Peter Zeihan delivers the episode’s core on geopolitics, demographics, AI, and energy. Learn why China’s geography and collapsing fertility pose systemic limits, how AI and automation can’t replace consumption or fix public finances, and why copper, transmission grids, and mineral supply chains are the real bottlenecks for decarbonization. Takeaways include risks from deglobalization, the changing industrial map (Mexico, Vietnam, Japan), the realistic prospects for nuclear and EVs, and what to watch: material flows, grid infrastructure, and demographic balances. Ideal for listeners interested in global geopolitics, technology, climate tech, and macroeconomics. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
