Summary of George Friedman 's The Next 100 Years

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 The American people have a deep-seated belief that the United States is approaching its end. This is reflected in the letters pages of newspapers, the web, and public discourse. The American economy is so large that it is larger than the economies of the next four countries combined.

#2 The United States is still underpopulated by global standards. It has plenty of room to increase all three of its components: land, labor, and capital. The American economy is so powerful because of its military power.

#3 The United States is only at the beginning of its power. The twenty-first century will be the American century, and it has been forced to take on the role that European power occupied for five hundred years, between Columbus's voyage in 1492 and the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.

#4 Until the fifteenth century, humans lived in self-enclosed, sequestered worlds. But as the European empires expanded, they brought the world together as a single entity. Europe became the center of gravity of the global system.
