The ramifications of international COVID-19 spending could potentially last for decades, and inevitably one of the first consequences will be that central banks will lose control of interest rates, and subsequently, growth and inflation targets. That is just the first symptom of a series of cascading upheavals. Supply-chain disruptions have already shown the vulnerability of the globalist model that has fueled growth for the past decades. War has not only shown the fragility of the status quo, but has revealed diplomatic and economic rifts that promise to shift trading patterns. The precarity of the US dollar underlines the life-or-death importance of foreign markets and resources, energy in particular. Tracking trade wars and kinetic wars, central banks and runs on banks, pipelines blown up and startups knocked down, this book gives us a glimpse of a near future that will look very different from the recent past.
