Interest rates are going much higher. BRICS will be the scape goat. While OPEC is doing deals with BRICS to build oil pipelines and refineries, North America and Europe are going Green, gangrene. BRICS or 70% of human population isn't going Green. So OPEC is going with BRICS and the BRI while NATO destroys itself under the weight of unserviceable debt and will blame BRICS for going off the US Petro dollar. No high speed rails in the US, only train derailments.
Patrick. Thanks for not being overhyping or one sided. Your format of “Here’s something that might happen. Here’s why it might not. Here’s something that might happen. Here’s why it might not” is better than any large news agency, bar none.
22:20 "In complex areas like economics and geopolitics, there are no easy answers. There are too many moving parts, too many unknowns, and too many pros and cons whose merits can’t be easily weighed. There will never be a perfect answer and for that reason there is always a swing back and forth as different ideas are expressed." Love this closing thought
When i hear simple solutions to complicated problems, it sugests to me that, whoever is sugesting that for whatever reason, doesn't fully understand the problem. This is a great BS detector.
Hahaha... this statement and the replies to it are the thinking of testosterone-lacking, conflict-averse yuppies. Yes, solutions that precisely land on the centroid of MANY peoples' inputs and objectives in a technically-ideal fashion ARE 'complex'... ...But in the real world, most problems - being that they're caused by humans, who all fall into a predictable distribution curve - have LARGE 'chunks' of the same cause. Around ~80% of all problems almost ALWAYS come down to... 1) Nonengagement / Noncooperation of the interested parties, 2) Mismanagement, and thus 3) the Corruption and Grift that result from it. Every successful project tackles these issues FIRST.... OR makes a team so small, led by such a strong 'leader', that they are all eliminated as a problem, and the team is able to spend its time tacking the technical issues. Everything is falling apart because your average woggin (such as you three) have been trained since childhood to never lay down hard lines, never have any passion about anything, never take charge, and never 'judge' others (which has created the perfect breeding ground for liars and con-men to thrive, who in turn prevent any progress from being made on anything).
I always laugh reading comments on news articles from common people saying things, like We have already de coupled with China, lol. Like it happens that quickly like it's a sports match or something and the US just made a play or something. It's obvious there is a political idea to de couple with China, but trade between the two nations is at a all time high. It's more like the media is lying to the public, and rather than being honest on why prices are so expensive for average customers due to the tariff war. They are keeping the tariffs and keeping the idea on why the trade war is great. The governments are literally making extra money from tariffs and don't want to give it up. They used inflation as a cover on why prices are also so high.
Roger & Me 1989 and don't forget this one either, In the second 1992 Presidential Debate, Ross Perot argued: "We have got to stop sending jobs overseas. It's pretty simple: If you're paying $12, $13, $14 an hour for factory workers and you can move your factory South of the border, pay a dollar an hour for labor, ... have no health care-that's the most expensive single element in making a car- have no environmental controls, no pollution controls and no retirement, and you don't care about anything but making money, there will be a giant sucking sound going south." Who is surprised by this????
the key is healthcare for all. Canada can compete with US because the have lower healthcare cost so the company cost for manpower is lower even if they are paying the same salary
One thing I like about this video is that you actually gave a summarising statement at the end which succinctly covered the main point from the video. I see so many RUclips videos where the video just ends and it feels abrupt.
Great video, Patrick. I would add two thoughts to it. 1. Change in trade of semiconductors, commodities and high-value-added technology may not be reflected in statistics but has more “weight” to many other products. Thus, a more detailed analysis may be required 2. Building factories, training people and restructuring the supply chain will take many years. A slow start may be misleading.
semiconductors are not a pair of shoes to jump factories, there are big reasons why it's concentrated in workaholic/low human rights/cheap labor while high education demand places of the world and why it's easy to fail at.
@@memespeech None of those are actually factors. The reason semiconductors are made where they are is due to the supply chains and access to an educated workforce. In fact, the US scores very low in education metrics. if you need a skilled workforce (as you do for semiconductors), the US is proving to be one of the worst places to find it. This lack of skilled labour can be seen in Boeing's QA problems when expanding their factories, and the QA issues in US made Teslas vs EU or Chinese Teslas. The US has attracted some of the brightest people on the planet because it's the richest, but the moment an industry approaches mass production, the quality of workers falls off a cliff.
If you get a minute, would you please expand on, "more detailed analysis may be required" ? Planned obsolescence is super fake. That term is just a symptom of top down to trash production. None of the production is checked or evaluated per run. There is no quality control. If any of this production is brought back into the mainland US, we would have checks like ISO or IPC. Anything that gets UL Listed has lots of rejects because the quality is super bad.
@@anivicuno9473 I'm not sure that is true,. The US is in the top 3 for almost any sort of high tech manufacturing. Because quality control and a skilled workforce are absolutely available! Do you think Intel is investing all that money into US factories because they have doubts they can find enough skilled workers? And a shocking number of highly automated factories are being built in the US right now. Because skilled mechanics, machinists, roboticists and more are readily available here. Try to find them in Sudan. Or most of the world. You say "the moment an industry approaches mass production, the quality of workers falls off a cliff" but the US makes millions of cars every year. We are the #1 producer of heavy farm equipment. We are rapidly becoming the #1 (or at least #2) producer of wind turbines and solar cells. We mass produce quite a few things and we do it with massive efficiency per man hour. You can cherry pick examples like Boeing, but that doesn't mean the skills and tech are not here. And regarding Tesla, I actually know a few people who work for Tesla, and the working conditions are such that the skilled people don't want to stick around. Maybe if they joined the UAW and allowed Union representation they would get UAW level quality of work for UAW level of pay and benefits. It's a MANAGEMENT issue, not a SKILL issue.
The town in Australia I was born in was plunged into poverty and despair by globalisation when an American company bought out the tool works that employed 800 people closed it down and and opened up in China. It is now one of the poorest local government areas in the country. Sure was a "win win" for everybody.
All that highlights is that australia somehow can't be arsed to implement effective worker retraining programs or social safety nets. Globalisation just exposes the weakenesses present in ineffective governments. Global trade is win-win on a macroeconomic, society scale. Of course the wins aren't universal, and some groups lose out, like weavers did during mechanization.
@@anivicuno9473 I think you are discounting purchasing power parity(ppp). For example India’s ppp is 5.1 when compared to us. Now to get workers you can pay 1/5 times and still get things done. The opex of the companies will drastically reduce, that is the reason things get skewed. Now this cannot be handled by any govt imho.
Showing off huh…do you know who I listen to? The Nobel prize laureate Paul Krugman and the most widely cited social scientist who’s still alive Noam Chomsky. Try beating that. Ha
@benjamin bessette what he is saying is that countries are trying to avoid globalization to preserve their economies from global supply chain disruptions. Example: if china is unable to make iPhones you would not be bothered because your country also makes iPhones. Let’s say that iPhone is food, cars, computers, petroleum, etc.
The elephant in the room, however, is that trade is always political, and from the very beginning of globalisation there have been big international actors who exercise their political power through trade. To argue that internal trade *can* be done responsibly presupposes that there are not already dominant actors who militate against this very thing. So yeah we can take the moderate "let's all get along guys" attitude or we can reject the system in its entirety, and indeed we must since those with the most power in the system have become almost impossible to restrain within that system.
Comparative advantage is just as much bulshit as the efficient market hypothesis. Both are stupid academic utopian ideas that are easily corrupted by crooked actors ..
Patrick, your videos are always informative and fact driven but you really hit it out of the park on this one. Your rational, fact-based videos are at the top of my list for general economic reporting. Thank you for everything you do!
Talk of reshoring, friendshoring, onshoring, ect. As an engineer with 12 years of experience working directly with manufacturing I can say this: Talk is cheap. There is no manufacturing boom in the US.
@@gyroscopejones9217 No, a manufacturing rennasiance cannot occur in the US as long as the dollar retains its place as the world's reserve currency. Very bluntly, it is much cheaper to buy imported goods from abroad than make them yourself when all you have to do is buy them with greenbacks you can print at will.
I think the deglobalization has begun. So far the globalization is actually western dominated globalization, and what’s happening is a switch from western centric to real ‘global’ centric where most countries would befit rather than a bounce of western countries.
Good point. Just because the US has an unhappy population due to lost jobs, and Europe is facing security risks, does not mean it’s the same situation for every country. As long as capital can flow across borders it will search out the best returns. There are many opportunities for growth and development across the globe, and countries such as Vietnam and Rwanda are grabbing the opportunity. There are many stories of increasing globalisation to be told.
Please explain what you meant by "So far the globalization is actually western dominated globalization". What happened to the economy of countries like Japan, S Korea, multiple SE Asian countries, PROC, ROC for past few decades?
@@living_well_18 I’ll try to answer it to you. 1st the richest countries have been for the past few centuries until today been mostly western. These countries are former colonial powers and industrialized more than 100 years ago. This resultated in these countries dictating how trade should be conducted, often to their favour, hence western dominated globalization. Furthermore, some of these countries are involved in neocolonial policies, which kept other geographical regions from developing. Further reason for western dominated globalization. This is the basis for a lot what shaped our world to what it is today. For example using english as the language for commerce is another example or that most major international institutions (Worldbank or IMF for example, there are of course many many more) are located in the west. 2nd The US used to be the most important market and Europe it’s most important trading partner. However, China surpassed the US as the largest market for a while now. Furthermore China is most of the other countries biggest trading partner and it’s economic might (China is called the worlds factory for a reason) makes it a force to be reckon with. China has surpassed the West on many aspects and India as well as other Asian countries are soon to follow. 3rd There is also something called an economic center of gravity, which refers to a point on the world map which shows the average location of economic activitiy. Logically the rise of China and India, but also countries (you mentioned) like Japan and the 4 “Asian Tigers” South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore as well as emerging nations mostly in South East Asia such as Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia & Bangladesh are all responsible for shifting the economic center of gravity further to the east. From this you can hopefully see what is meant by western dominated. Someone else might get into the second question “What happened to the economy of … for past few decades?”.
@@living_well_18 all Asian countries except Japan were globalized rather globalizing. They were ones received capital, technology, idealism and political systems, and exported goods to western countries. Now the trend has flipped.
@benren7305I disagree…how we think of globalization will change meaning restructure. It’ll never go away as long as you have humans you will always have people willing to subjugate others that share the same ethnic make-up, culture, phenotypes…and willingness to subjugate the people that don’t through force. It’s a mix of global, geographical, and localized regions…they will merely shuffle indefinitely based on trade-offs “pros vs cons.” From human history and “civilization” empires have always stayed localized as well as extended far beyond their borders “regionally” huge reason why speciation has a very low probability of occurring within homo-sapiens we love to go around Fing with other people as well as sexy sexy time…
@@annnee6818I do agree with Einstein on that, but to add more to what he said…it cycles back around and repeats itself all over again. “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme,” you’ve probably heard that quote before. Looking at the overall events of documented human history, civilizations always seem to follow a very nasty cyclic model…kind of makes me ponder…that fatty fleshy goop of a meat sack in-between our skulls has a huge limiter hardwired and programmed within our DNA to be just what we are…humans tied to this planet, and not independent nor anymore special than any creature on it. 😂 that may upset some people that believe “we’re special,” but in actuality we’re rather mundane.
You want to join the Navy to preserve the sea lanes? Globalization doesn't exist long term if the US decides to not make a few hundred destroyers to preserve open sea lanes. It's not cost effective to keep using Aircraft Carriers.

Best business economics and finance content on RUclips bar none. So very appreciative of the incredible attention to detail and thorough research put into these videos. Been here since 100k; delighted to see your channel growing and gaining the following it so deserves. 👍🏻
What bothers me most about corporations going for the cheapest is that we end up having huge amounts of garbage. Worse is the outsourcing of medical products to countries with poor records of safety. I have a can opener made in USA that is over 40 yo, Ray-Ban sunglasses that are 50+years. All in good condition and kept away from the dump. This comes from greed as the consumer price is the same, but the profit margin is in the 1000s% vs 20%.

Globalization is a recycled term as Patrick mentioned. Literally the same term used prior to the panic 1873 and again during the 1920's leading to the 1929 bust. Other terms used have been colonialism. And such colonialism goes back further than the triangle trade of the 1600 and 1700's. But you can go back to even prior to antiquity of Greece and later Rome. Going back to classical era of Greek city states culminating in doom for various empires in the great bronze age collapse. Essentially, it almost always included slavery or a form of feudal like structures. Very few actually benefited from it directly or even indirectly. And such economies always boom and fell apart in a great bust. The term is too gity without looking at the fundamental problems; generally it uses exploited labors either slave, feudal peasantry, or a tyrannized repressive dictator or oligarchy of some sort or another that gives way to what I've coined inauthentic comparative advantage. Lots of other subsidies also come into play as well; where producers receive tax money to offset costs for other inputs beyond labor costs. As well as operating costs like shipping and inventory; distribution costs often get a hefty subsidy by the taxes of the nation. So the costs are not actually lower, but subsidized by desperate, suppressed, enslaved, and tax funded other non-labor inputs and distribution. The quality is worse, but the price is more attractive and floods the market forcing better expertise quality makers to go bust. Price wars we see with oligopolies and monopolies. And in the end you have a late stage where only a few getting the benefits. Supply chains get idiotic as pretzel like zig zag of various stages of goods making require even further fuels to move the inputs and sub assemblies and final assemblies then various retail. All this sourcing from all over the place takes more energy which costs more. But this excess cost, yet again, gets offset by either direct subsidies for those purposes of transportation and/or by the other subsidies of inputs via tax money and suppressed labor wages; that the extra cost on energy is offset by the low or no wages being paid and the inputs being mostly paid by the colonial country. And often these pretzel like supply chains lead to a collapse along with the fact it leaves very few able to consume the goods and services because everyone falls in wage/salaries toward the suppressed labor; aggregate demand falls. It's probably why hyper inflation didn't immediately come out of the massive QE that was being done by many countries after the 2010's following the bank bust and massive bail out to the financial sector. Wages stayed low, and businesses were very scared to grow very much knowing that very few, the top 20% were really left being able to purchase the vast majority of the goods and services being supplied to the market. Between the inefficient supply chain that becomes fragile when ultimately resentment takes place and war happens, financial disasters take place as the top 20% can't hold an economy together with massive suppression toward the bottom 80%, and often to placate the 80% in less suppressive nations, these countries often under go wars of conquest or civil war. And it all falls apart. It's moronic. Trade is good. But label all trade as good is dumb. Some trade is bad. Authentic comparative advantage is a key to figure out what type of trade is good, and which type is actually harmful over time. If the country in question has more of resource than other countries, it's a good trade. An authentic comparative advantage. If a country has expertise that's better than another, than its a good trade. Actual quality and or abundance of good or service. If it's forced via slave labor or otherwise suppressed labor or gigantic subsidies this constitutes an inauthentic comparative advantage that will put those with better expertise out of business lowering quality, as well as driving supply chains into idiot spaghetti, and all nations fall in equilibrium as aggregate demand falls. The remaining 20% or the top 10% simply don't need 1 billion toasters or 1 billion ovens or 1 billion massaches etc. Instead you're left with great resentment among the less suppressed nations, and even of the tyrannical nations, they tend to realize the gigs up and start abandoning the late stage colonialism/globalism; which becomes very dangerous as supply chains are all over the place due to the inauthentic comparative advantage described. It's idiotic. Since recorded history, over and over, this type of bad trade keeps popping up, because it does give a quick boost to economic boom. But it always goes bust because it's unsustainable. It only really helps the top 20%, and eventually maybe only the top 10%... until it helps nobody.
A lot of that QE went to service student loans, auto loans and mortgages. When people have debt and their income is disrupted, giving them money just keeps them treading water.
"Trade increased countries resilience during the pandemic." Everyone remembers the miles and miles of backed up ships, sitting offshore, doing nothing. The empty shelves, high prices, and resultant panic buying of staples. The electronics shortage with follow-on effect in other markets (like automobiles). That was caused by the *ceasing* of reliable international trade. It exposed the fragility and untrustworthiness of complex global systems of production and distribution that rely on predictably good conditions. If that system is interrupted, a lot failed because there were no other closer or domestic options.
Good points. This is the weakness of globalization. The trend away from mercantilism (domestic production) and toward globalization/outsourcing lasted about fifty or sixty years. At this point, the love affair with globalization has run its course.
Thank you for this comprehensive look at deglobalization. I've been trying to wrap my head around its possible consequences, and this video really helped to get informed on the topic.
Policies as a response to public sentiment? That's a good one. As if trade barriers in the US were created to mollify US unemployed workers as opposed to economic incentives of majority stakeholders in the political parties fund providers. Public sentiment is manipulated to conform to elite-sponsored policies, not the other way around...
I think Peter Zeihan's "The End of the World Is Just the Beginning" presents a pretty comprehensive explanation as to why globalisation is ending. It also takes geopolitics and demographics into account, not just economics
Yep, I really like Peter Zeihan's daily videos. I enjoy his insight on Russia and China. When people talk about China invading Taiwan, I like to quote him, "You can walk from Moscow to Kiev, you can't walk from Beijing to Taipei". And NO, this is not one of those spam chains of comments about someone who does stock picks. Zeihan does not recommend stocks, ever.
I like Peter also. I've lived through globalization's birth and now its retreat. I did a lot of research hoping to prove to myself that deglobalization wasn't happening. I couldn't. My grandchildren aren't going to enjoy the benefits I had by growing up in a more peaceful world. I've been following China for decades. It's collapsing - possibly more slowly than Peter believes (I hope), but for the umpteenth time in China's history, it may go through the same cycle of splitting apart into a few warring pieces, civil war and famine. Big difference this time is that at least one of those mini-Chinas will have nukes. Imagine Mao with nukes. Chills...
Damn, good job on the lighting and color correction. This is the best looking shot I’ve seen on this channel. F’ing nailed it. IMO, make this the reference for the NFT art ;)
Smart trade that benefits both parties is good. Bad trade is bad. Globablization has allowed for good trade and bad trade. Maybe we need to consider it as changing how we do business as a whole, rather than everyone screaming we're obliterating our economy.
Thanks Patrick for this thorough and balanced overview of the global trade issue. As the conflict between the Chinese Party State and the US National Security state grows overviews such as your data filled approach are more critical to understanding the case. Neither side favors a free flow of critical political analysis . This makes economic analysis what we have. However, such political issues as national debt, the current trade account and the currency and chip wars and the rise of Chinese power are driving much of the urge to decouple. Since divorce between China and the US is unlikely there 's a bizarre situation developing of increased trade dependence and increased distancing between the political elites of the two countries.
@@oldcat1790you do know try and asap are both meaningless words don’t you? You try to complete your homework asap normally meant the homework isn’t done until the deadline. With no deadline set, try and asap can and probably have an infinite timeframe.
Globalization? More like privatization! Really, globalization has been extremely "one-sided" in almost all aspects. It made the entire world into one big business, one big company, where everything was funneled to Europe and America. Not to mention the cultural effects it also had, with now people also being funneled to Europe and America. In both cases, the common consensus seems to be that people are entitle in AND to Europe and America. Meaning that people there are privileged and that anybody on Earth can and should just move there and become such too. Do not fix anything back at home, keep diverting the resources away, leave, leave, leave. All these developing nations lose all their smart people who leave for first-world countries. No smart people left = Only stupid people left = Pointless conflicts. And guess what: People from Europe and America won't be moving where others are coming from. It's not a "shuffle", it's just a hoard and abandonment of people. Immigration is one-way, one-sided and it's ruining so much of the world as nobody stays OR comes to fix jackshit. So people just leave.
Thanks for providing yet another extremely interesting and insightful analysis. When I start looking at every one of your videos, I automatically click the "like" button, because I know that I will be much more informed afterwards and would have laughed non-stop from your acerbic wit. I cannot wait for your next video. Thanks very much for enriching my life.

Hola, llevo poco tiempo viendo tu contenido y el de alguno otros youtubers (didn't use to): encuentro tu voz pasiva muy agradable, tus opiniones bien fundamentadas y realmente interesantes los temas que abordas. I took the liberty to writte in spanish because I share your conclusion about globalization; it is not just about economics in a wider sense but the repercusion in micro economical relations on a wider societal level. Anyway, thanks for doing this
If globalization is genuinely a good thing, it will stick around. Trade is undoubtedly good for nations. It allows for specialization & improvements of productivity, while outsourcing allows for reduction in risk. However trade also puts nations in a state of mutual reliance, which is not a favourable state even among Allied nations when differences in domestic policy start to play out. Trade without friction turns every industry into a global race to the bottom, disenfranchising existing labour while exploiting underdeveloped labour. It’s essentially all the worst parts of colonialism without the explicit racism.
Globalisation and trade between countries leads to mutual reliance and peace, Europe in the inter war period led to, tariffs, trade wars, distrust, nationisation, and land grabs, and finally a war, seems a little familiar now
Y'know what else globalism contributes to? Invasive species wrecking ecosystems. Here in the Midwest, we are having a crisis due to Asian Emerald Ash Borer beetles. We will eventually lose almost all our Ash trees in a decade😢
Oh and then there was that novel 'bug' that China exported in late 2019 that spread shockingly fast worldwide... I can only guess that didn't start WW3 because of trade reliance
lets not get ahead of our selves while globalization might have alot of the worst parts of colonialism it also has all the best ones like bringing techonoligy and food security to most of the world. From 1959 to 1961 china had a famine that killed tens of millions of people. that kind of thing simply wasnt uncommon before it was possible to import enough food for millons of people from thousands of kms away. Its impossible to calculate how many likely 100s of millions of lives have been saved by medicine and food transport being globally available which simply wouldn't have been the case without some level of colonization and later globalization. Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad unfortunately
What will remain is a large quantity of broken industries. In the Netherlands, for instance, is not clothing industry any more. All production went to low wages countries. In the old days we had linnen and wool. And also almost all electronics production left too, computers and TV's are no longer produced, same this as everywhere. There is only one British computer manufacturer still in business the rest of Europe is dead on this point. Knowledge went missing, if productions should be restarted here is nobody with experience. Food production went to Eastern Europe and there is no possibility to renew this locally. It is impossible to compete with the giants that make the decisions.
Globalization involves much more than trade. The backlash against the growth of international regulation arising from trading nations like Europe increasing their dominance by legislating extreme requirements for "environmental" compliance in manufactured items. European nations like Germany influence the UN and other international agencies to promote conventions that force other nations to comply with US and Europe's extreme and often absurd requirements. Does a tractor driven in Australia have to comply with environmental restrictions relevant to Germany. Yes, despite their being absurd these expensive, unreliable and unwanted European restrictions are applied universally throughout the Western World. This killed manufacturing in other nations and often forced manufacturers of many machines and equipment out of business. The manipulation of globalization for the benefit of Europe and the USA is the real problem area. The time has come for other nations to opt out of the ever tightening noose of Euro/US demands and regulation.
Really? Because many in the West take entirely the opposite point of view, seeing many blue and white collar jobs being off shored, to "wherever the rice grows cheapest" And surely a tractor driven in Australia has to comply with Australian regulations, how would the EU be able to dictate regulations to other countries? How can a regulation be unreliable?
@@knightsnight5929 I don't really agree too hard with the first post. But the EU does have a lot of sway because their market is so large that if you want to make money you need to follow their regulations no matter how nonsensical it is. Because making two products for different regions makes no sense companies will default to the highest regulation between the nations they sell within. Which tends to be the EU regulating stuff that adds more pollution by causing you to need to toss your computers out faster and the likes.
Stopping global trade is like stopping the sea with your hands. Impossible as long as companies and consumers are looking for the lowest cost products and services. I have seen many trade sanctions in the last 30 some years as results of several trade wars and they all died except global trade. China has been buying ports like they're going out of style. Their port-folio has grown so much. It is as you stated, a slow down only. Awesome video.
Lol. Umm no global trade didn’t exist hardly except after the Brenton wood act when the USA government guaranteed safe trade. That time is over. Listen to Peter zeihan.
@@rogerbritus9378 the U.S.A. is already in a Cold War and a trade war with China that will last 30 years or so until one of the 2 establishes its leadership of the world. With all its internal and external economic issues, so far the USA is winning both wars. Until China has a USD equivalent, a Wall Street and a Silicon Valley, it will remain at a disadvantage in spite of its >$3 trillion foreign currency reserves of USDs and EURs.
You ignore the precarious nature much of global trade is built upon, global rules, maritime security, trust in others, a somewhat naive notion that economic relations guarantees peace. Over populated countries that aren't resource self sufficient & can't protect their trade networks, in conjunction with allies, are the most vulnerable.
@@assertivekarma1909 if you read global trade agreements carefully, you will notice that many global rules and clauses are ignored until score settling between signatory nations becomes important.
In 2006, China passed a labor law for overseas interests that, among other things, an employee couldn’t be fired, once hired, and their first performance reviews come after 15 years on the floor. So cheap labor, bye bye…. This is all you need to know about US/China relations.
Mid sized and small towns here in Ohio have suffered with globalization. Places like Dayton, Springfield, Toledo, Youngstown. They all are stable, but not really growing and have drug and other crime rates above the national average. In some ways they resemble what China used to look like before 1990. Vacant store fronts, empty factories, potholes. Ohio has a great higher education infrastructure. Hopefully, companies will realize Ohio is ripe for reshoring. (Let's not even talk about Detroit.)
That's probably more due to the general failure of American capitalism. The USA as a whole suffers from very low infrastructure spending and very bad performance in almost every health and wellbeing metric. I saw a maternal mortality stat for 100000 live births in the USA 24 women die while in the UK even with their healthcare system on the verge of collapse and suffering from years of neglect it's only 6.8. Even ultra rural Australia is only around 5.
I think it's always good to highlight what might be beneficial for an economy as a whole will still have those who it is detrimental to. If most people are winners but a few are losers it's still going to be a win overall. I think this is what is often missed in the immigration debate as much as it is for offshoring, something I don't think some progressives understand.
@kaymish6178 lol what. I need to see those stats and studies (not because i doubt your stat or honesty. I highly doubt the study. What variables and factors are at play? It just doesn't meet the good study sniff test) And where are you and where do people(globally) go for a specific best in the world medical treatment or surgery? Overwhelmingly you will be pointed to America. That's a huge reason our Healthcare will always remain at high cost. And low infrastructure spending relative to area and city space of course we will. Our country is 100x the size and people are 10000x more spread out. In America we factor in a diminishing return metric when applying infrastructure and public transport etc. It just won't affect a huge number of people outside of the urban dense city centers. Meaning per dollar, the affect of infrastructure spending is minimal when looking at people affected by it.
@@kaighSea it's not a hard study to do. Take the number of women who die in child birth and divide by 100000 its a basic government statistic. And I cant believe you are trotting out that tired old line of the USA being too big. Lets take Australia again. About the same size as the USA with a fraction of the population and wealth, but still manages to do better.
There is one comment to be made about the immigration into Germany. While Germany has absorbed a huge amount of refugees, compared to it's size and population, only very few of those (around 20%) have been integrated into the labour market. In fact Germany has massive problems with finding workers in almost all sectors of it's economy, resulting in millions of open jobs.
Globalism, die? Would that we could be that lucky. I work in the service industry, servicing household name franchises across the country. The logistics chains are struggling still. Most of the vendors we use barely answer the phone, and rarely have decent stock.
Globalization was dependent on Europeans and the Untied States being able to buy cheap goods made by people earning less than $3/day for 10 hour day. Once we ran out of those things were going to go south. The other thing is that "just in time" manufacturing really meant "no back up plan" manufacturing.
As someone who is not part of the "global community" (North America, Europe, Japan Korea), globalization is not so fantastic, the dollar is expensive destroying the local economy, I don't earn in dollars but everything is in dollar...I'm sure that the millionaires who work with export and import is all wonderful...but for rest have to do in $1h, 13% interest, and less job opportunity's
As a Latinamerican, I don't even want to imagine the level of interventionism on domestic affairs that the US will want to impose on their "friendshoring" countries.
My first thought "you mean western imperialism is coming to an end", but they have to be coy for obvious reasons. I hope China boxes the US out in war games in Latin America.
Latin Americans blaming the USA for their failures is a tale as old as time. Somehow every other US-aligned state like Japan, Korea, Australia, Canada, Western Europe, Central Europe all flourish and do well, but Latin America blames America for their own domestic problems

Patrick you yourself have already put out several videos detailing the woes of China. There is no way in any shape or form China will continue on being the 2nd highest economy GDP in the world with most of it's current manufacturer capabilities. There are so many Geopolitical reasons why but even if everything solidly went their way; their Demographics alone dooms their economy. Their workforce is rapidly aging out. The status quo will not last forever. Assumptions that we've made during the Globalized era need to be rewritten or else reality will write them for you. And yes to your point the world won't fully "Deglobalize" but rather trade will devolve into trading blocs of countries with like minded ideals. The entire phenomena of Globalization was kept by the implicit promise of safe oceans for trade by the US Navy during the Cold War. That's no longer the case. There are already oil tankers getting hijacked in the Middle East. The US is pulling out of that security guarantee. You guys need to watch some of Peter Zeihan's work to balance your view out on this topic.
2:34 Excuse me greenest sources? What exactly is green about a product getting shipped three times across the world for individual steps of production to save a few cents on manufacturing?
A point that works in favor of globalization is consumer expectations: price, quality, variety. It's not easy to go back to fewer, worse, more expensive options, make do with whatever is locally available.
N But when the policy of your state depends on the supplier of goods, this is more annoying. Russia supplied a lot of resources and used it to put pressure on Europe.
Peter Zeihan - "The end of the world is just the beginning" is a very interesting book focused on the collapsing of globalization. Does not sound like a good time!
In fairness the person who is most impressed with the phrases of Peter Zeihan, is Peter Zeihan himself. Like Jim Cramer, his objective is to pump the US investment market.
I have two major issues with this video: 1. You can't say Europe is overdependent on Russia, a European country in spite of Western Europe's efforts to establish monopoly over Europe, and ignore Europe's overdependence on the USA (which has proven to have devastating effects on Europe). 2. Taking newspaper articles as a credible source of information is unforgivably naive in this day and age.
As I sit here in north east Syria eating my Costa Rica bananas I'm thinking of the webinar I took part in back in April 2020, with Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport International, where I offered my opinions on risk mitigation and that companies need to diversify their Supply Chains. I suggested that this was a 're-globalisation' process, as oppossed to de-globalisation. Similar to what you have said in your excellent video here. A realignment is taking place, towards countries that are (relatively) politically stable and have both decent infrastructure and large work force to cater for new production facilities. Indonesia is a case in point. Could be here all day but to summarise, but back in the early days of the covid crisis I was trying to explain that PPE, for example, and other medical items were all available outside of China. Many NGOs have known this for a long time as we cant wait for the commercial world to change, we dont have time. So we do far more research into emergency goods than others. Might be worth looking at humanitarian & emergency trends too as they might shine a light on countries that otherwise will receive little to no notice.
Globalisation will always be a thing, we don't want to mine aluminum, lithium, or other tedious things, other countries can't make our superconductors, except Vietnam and Taiwan
I can't get enough of your videos Patrick. The history of the world is colipases of old and beginnings of new systems. "Globalization" as we have been doing it over the last few decades was always going to be a profitable fad up until global labor arbitrage benefits no longer offset transportation costs and investment risk tolerance in politically unstable partners. Regional trade blocs will emerge and thrive with the largest regional economy anchoring these spheres of economic influence. The US has 2 very important neighbors who will ensure that the next fad will not crash its economy. In the North, Canada is a natural resource centric trading partner. In the South Mexico provides a very attractive local labor arbitrage partner. Eastern Europe will slowly shift the EU's Western European weighted influence with Western Europe becoming this century's Sick Man of Europe (the dependency ratio tipping points of these countries are already upon them). China and Russia will continue to shoot themselves in the foot of world diplomacy during this evolution. An EU-like union is a good possibility between Japan, Philippines, Aus/NZ and South Korea to counterbalance China if they pivot from their antagonistic current policies and attract healthy trading bloc members. India has a much better chance of success at this and has positioned themselves in a much stronger diplomatic place for it. Finally Africa and South America are up for grabs. South Africa and Brazil are the favorites but both of these countries have huge hurdles to overcome internally before they can move the needle as a regional trading giant. Gonna be fun to watch.
Why does everyone think South Africa is going to become so powerful, they are plagued with just as much instability and problems as other parts of sub-saharan Africa. They have progressively gotten poorer and poorer as time goes on, their infrastructure is collapsing, and their cohesion as a society is troubled at best. Nigeria, Ethiopia, and a few others are in much better situations imo.
Eastern Europe is literally older than Western Europe. Western Europe has immigrants, while Eastern Europe has done their best to stop them. Countries like Poland are getting old quick.
For the foreseeable future I don't really agree with your assessment that globalization is a 'fad' though because fads imply a lack of innate qualities or advantages. Globalization is heavily rooted in the concepts of competitive advantage and specialization and globalized economies *will* always be more productive than regional trade blocs or similar. I'm not entirely sure if globalization will ever come back but I don't doubt people will try for it again in the future.
Globalization was always a flawed concept, based on Francis Fukiyama's idea that the end of the Cold War meant the "end of history". Globalization assumes that the will of the international ruling class can be imposed on nations and peoples. We expect mass unrest over the next decade because many people have seen the future being imposed on them and they don't like it. There will always be international trade, but IF a nation is governed by patriots, it'll ensure that has a manufacturing base. That's a big IF in the US because it appears our ruling class are globalists who are more than willing to strip-mine the country if it means they can buy a bigger superyacht.
>Francis Fukiyama's idea that the end of the Cold War meant the "end of history". Let me guess. You never read the book and have no idea what he meant by that statement
Don't place to much hope on South Africa within BRICS as a major player, in reality its a basket case as its circling the drain very quickly due to debilitating corruption in ALL state enterprises, right now South Africa can barely keep a household light on, the corruption within the state energy sector is going to destroy the country economically, the blackouts will force foreign corporations to leave the country, ALL industrial sectors suffer extensively from blackouts, so yes the circling around the drain is speeding up at a furious pace.
I think, while this is a first rate analysis of the data to date it assumes that United States will continue to guarantee the security of global trade with our navy. What happens if it is made clear that the United States will no longer protect global trade or decides to become an aggressor in disruption of global trade.
I think globalization just like any other market structure has peaked and is now getting into the business cycle of highs and lows experienced by other business systems. Thanks Patrick for your detailed videos , as a Trader I appreciate your effort and skill.
It’s really all about GREED, Patrick. Prior to globalization, gadgets still were made & sold. The manufacturer still became wealthy, were his gadgets well-made & priced ( and, most critically, his LOCAL workforce usually made a LIVING WAGE)…. All of my friends’ fathers worked in factory jobs. ALL supported an average family size of 6 on that one salary-which included 2 cars & an annual family vacation….The ONLY differences: workers & factories were located in the U.S. (in towns where the owners lived, themselves, and couldn’t get away with paying slave labor wages to ppl they never would see)…. “Lifting out of poverty” ppl in far-away places (by paying them chump change) may ease the consciences of unscrupulous scoundrels-but “globalization” has DAMAGED the quality of life for the vast majority of people living in the West in ways that only those who remember how it “used to be” could possibly understand ….It’s about GREED. Pure & simple.
How about safety of international shipping lines? Especially with US withdrawing from Middle East or some state actors interested in disrupting shipping. How viable shipping every nut and bolt around the planet would be, if insurance costs went up drastically?
But Corporatism isnt....Globalization has peaked and is now Entrenched in the system, or at least the Ideology is. Its simply reinventing itself under another name

Globalization will never end for infinite reasons, it could certainly cease for some products or decrease for others. but one way or another the world will remain interconnected. However, one thing that has already profoundly changed, which perhaps is not talked about enough, is the profound distrust between countries; in this sense, decoupling has already taken place and is constantly expanding.
Russia did not stop providing gas and oil to Europe if you recall. Europe refused to import it from Russia like a toddler throwing a fit and threatening to cut off its nose to spite the face. Then the US blew up the Nordstream to make sure Europe does not change its mind.
Perhaps he was referring to the “maintenance” Russia had to complete before they would agree to restore full gas delivery to EU countries. They had a fit over some machinery that was being held in Canada, but, even after receiving said machinery, still stalled and refused to provide gas. They did it to themselves. Unless you are Russian. Then, of course, it is everyone else’s fault.
@@joycelynnelobert8779 Russia was using the turbine maintenance for political leverage, reducing the amount of gas (understandably) as the Satanic West ramped-up their open proxy war against Russia, but Russia never fully cut off the supply. And it was the CIA who blew up the Nordstream pipelines to force Germany to sever all economic relations with Russia. With friends like the US, who the fvck needs enemies.
Replacing "cheapest and easiest" with "safest and surest" makes sense, but a lot of green solutions to manufacturing are also safer and surer than their fossil fuel counterparts. For example, when it comes to electricity generation, coal and oil are only safe and sure if your country is an exporter of those resources, but the wind blows and the sun shines just about everywhere and nuclear doesn't need nearly as much fuel as any fossil fuel, so energy generation switching to greener sources would make most countries more secure, not less.
Russia also got kicked out of Swift, the global payment system. Americans also traded expensive but well made goods that last long for cheap goods that are made overseas that don't last as long.
The idea that trade would bring dictatorship countries into democracy has been proven to be wrong, we must limit the trade we give these countries. Contracting mining or other environmentally troublesome activities to poor countries just exports problems and makes them worse. Trade is good, but it must be done with similar care we expect our own country to give the environment, people and other life. Getting something cheaper from a country prepared to violate these values is still us violating our own values. We have benefited from these compromised values for too long. We must put security/global stability, the environment and humans rights centre stage.

BRICS or 70% of human population isn't going Green.

Love this closing thought
realism has entered the chat
When i hear simple solutions to complicated problems, it sugests to me that, whoever is sugesting that for whatever reason, doesn't fully understand the problem. This is a great BS detector.
Hahaha... this statement and the replies to it are the thinking of testosterone-lacking, conflict-averse yuppies.
Yes, solutions that precisely land on the centroid of MANY peoples' inputs and objectives in a technically-ideal fashion ARE 'complex'...
...But in the real world, most problems - being that they're caused by humans, who all fall into a predictable distribution curve - have LARGE 'chunks' of the same cause. Around ~80% of all problems almost ALWAYS come down to... 1) Nonengagement / Noncooperation of the interested parties, 2) Mismanagement, and thus 3) the Corruption and Grift that result from it.
Every successful project tackles these issues FIRST.... OR makes a team so small, led by such a strong 'leader', that they are all eliminated as a problem, and the team is able to spend its time tacking the technical issues.
Everything is falling apart because your average woggin (such as you three) have been trained since childhood to never lay down hard lines, never have any passion about anything, never take charge, and never 'judge' others (which has created the perfect breeding ground for liars and con-men to thrive, who in turn prevent any progress from being made on anything).
I always laugh reading comments on news articles from common people saying things, like We have already de coupled with China, lol. Like it happens that quickly like it's a sports match or something and the US just made a play or something. It's obvious there is a political idea to de couple with China, but trade between the two nations is at a all time high. It's more like the media is lying to the public, and rather than being honest on why prices are so expensive for average customers due to the tariff war. They are keeping the tariffs and keeping the idea on why the trade war is great. The governments are literally making extra money from tariffs and don't want to give it up. They used inflation as a cover on why prices are also so high.
Thats why central planning cannot work. Eight billion people making decisions by the second is just too many variables.
Roger & Me 1989 and don't forget this one either, In the second 1992 Presidential Debate, Ross Perot argued: "We have got to stop sending jobs overseas. It's pretty simple: If you're paying $12, $13, $14 an hour for factory workers and you can move your factory South of the border, pay a dollar an hour for labor, ... have no health care-that's the most expensive single element in making a car- have no environmental controls, no pollution controls and no retirement, and you don't care about anything but making money, there will be a giant sucking sound going south." Who is surprised by this????

One thing I like about this video is that you actually gave a summarising statement at the end which succinctly covered the main point from the video. I see so many RUclips videos where the video just ends and it feels abrupt.
A masterclass in definitive "click bait" titling followed up by basically a solidly probabilistic and contingent argument. Good video.
RUclips algorithm, Patrick should be at 1 million subscribers.
Great video, Patrick. I would add two thoughts to it.
1. Change in trade of semiconductors, commodities and high-value-added technology may not be reflected in statistics but has more “weight” to many other products. Thus, a more detailed analysis may be required
2. Building factories, training people and restructuring the supply chain will take many years. A slow start may be misleading.
semiconductors are not a pair of shoes to jump factories, there are big reasons why it's concentrated in workaholic/low human rights/cheap labor while high education demand places of the world and why it's easy to fail at.
Slow and steady wins the race :)
@@memespeech
None of those are actually factors. The reason semiconductors are made where they are is due to the supply chains and access to an educated workforce. In fact, the US scores very low in education metrics. if you need a skilled workforce (as you do for semiconductors), the US is proving to be one of the worst places to find it.
This lack of skilled labour can be seen in Boeing's QA problems when expanding their factories, and the QA issues in US made Teslas vs EU or Chinese Teslas.
The US has attracted some of the brightest people on the planet because it's the richest, but the moment an industry approaches mass production, the quality of workers falls off a cliff.
If you get a minute, would you please expand on, "more detailed analysis may be required" ? Planned obsolescence is super fake. That term is just a symptom of top down to trash production. None of the production is checked or evaluated per run. There is no quality control. If any of this production is brought back into the mainland US, we would have checks like ISO or IPC. Anything that gets UL Listed has lots of rejects because the quality is super bad.
@@anivicuno9473 I'm not sure that is true,. The US is in the top 3 for almost any sort of high tech manufacturing. Because quality control and a skilled workforce are absolutely available! Do you think Intel is investing all that money into US factories because they have doubts they can find enough skilled workers? And a shocking number of highly automated factories are being built in the US right now. Because skilled mechanics, machinists, roboticists and more are readily available here. Try to find them in Sudan. Or most of the world.
You say "the moment an industry approaches mass production, the quality of workers falls off a cliff" but the US makes millions of cars every year. We are the #1 producer of heavy farm equipment. We are rapidly becoming the #1 (or at least #2) producer of wind turbines and solar cells. We mass produce quite a few things and we do it with massive efficiency per man hour.
You can cherry pick examples like Boeing, but that doesn't mean the skills and tech are not here. And regarding Tesla, I actually know a few people who work for Tesla, and the working conditions are such that the skilled people don't want to stick around. Maybe if they joined the UAW and allowed Union representation they would get UAW level quality of work for UAW level of pay and benefits. It's a MANAGEMENT issue, not a SKILL issue.
Thanks!
Thanks Gary!
The town in Australia I was born in was plunged into poverty and despair by globalisation when an American company bought out the tool works that employed 800 people closed it down and and opened up in China. It is now one of the poorest local government areas in the country. Sure was a "win win" for everybody.
Liars burn in hell
All that highlights is that australia somehow can't be arsed to implement effective worker retraining programs or social safety nets.

The sad thing about your comment, is you are probably serious
I'd describe what's currently happening as the beginning of a long-term trend towards diversification of globalization, as a risk management strategy.
@benjamin bessette what he is saying is that countries are trying to avoid globalization to preserve their economies from global supply chain disruptions. Example: if china is unable to make iPhones you would not be bothered because your country also makes iPhones. Let’s say that iPhone is food, cars, computers, petroleum, etc.
@benjamin bessette yes. The US is trying to produce more of their own semiconductors for instance.
Like so many things, international trade is good in moderation, but can become toxic if used irresponsibly
Agreed but it will always remain for things that can't be done domestically.
The elephant in the room, however, is that trade is always political, and from the very beginning of globalisation there have been big international actors who exercise their political power through trade. To argue that internal trade *can* be done responsibly presupposes that there are not already dominant actors who militate against this very thing. So yeah we can take the moderate "let's all get along guys" attitude or we can reject the system in its entirety, and indeed we must since those with the most power in the system have become almost impossible to restrain within that system.

I think the deglobalization has begun. So far the globalization is actually western dominated globalization, and what’s happening is a switch from western centric to real ‘global’ centric where most countries would befit rather than a bounce of western countries.
God bless you! Someone who understands the things for what they really are. 👏🏽
Good point. Just because the US has an unhappy population due to lost jobs, and Europe is facing security risks, does not mean it’s the same situation for every country.
As long as capital can flow across borders it will search out the best returns. There are many opportunities for growth and development across the globe, and countries such as Vietnam and Rwanda are grabbing the opportunity. There are many stories of increasing globalisation to be told.
Please explain what you meant by "So far the globalization is actually western dominated globalization". What happened to the economy of countries like Japan, S Korea, multiple SE Asian countries, PROC, ROC for past few decades?
@@living_well_18 I’ll try to answer it to you.
1st the richest countries have been for the past few centuries until today been mostly western. These countries are former colonial powers and industrialized more than 100 years ago. This resultated in these countries dictating how trade should be conducted, often to their favour, hence western dominated globalization. Furthermore, some of these countries are involved in neocolonial policies, which kept other geographical regions from developing. Further reason for western dominated globalization. This is the basis for a lot what shaped our world to what it is today. For example using english as the language for commerce is another example or that most major international institutions (Worldbank or IMF for example, there are of course many many more) are located in the west.
2nd The US used to be the most important market and Europe it’s most important trading partner. However, China surpassed the US as the largest market for a while now. Furthermore China is most of the other countries biggest trading partner and it’s economic might (China is called the worlds factory for a reason) makes it a force to be reckon with. China has surpassed the West on many aspects and India as well as other Asian countries are soon to follow.
3rd There is also something called an economic center of gravity, which refers to a point on the world map which shows the average location of economic activitiy. Logically the rise of China and India, but also countries (you mentioned) like Japan and the 4 “Asian Tigers” South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore as well as emerging nations mostly in South East Asia such as Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia & Bangladesh are all responsible for shifting the economic center of gravity further to the east.
From this you can hopefully see what is meant by western dominated.
Someone else might get into the second question “What happened to the economy of … for past few decades?”.
@@living_well_18 all Asian countries except Japan were globalized rather globalizing. They were ones received capital, technology, idealism and political systems, and exported goods to western countries. Now the trend has flipped.
Globalization will never truly go away. There may be lower points of globalization, but it won't ever truly disappear.
Who knows. As Einstein said "I dunno what WW III will be fought with but I do know WW IV will be fought with sticks"
@benren7305 Nah.
@benren7305I disagree…how we think of globalization will change meaning restructure. It’ll never go away as long as you have humans you will always have people willing to subjugate others that share the same ethnic make-up, culture, phenotypes…and willingness to subjugate the people that don’t through force. It’s a mix of global, geographical, and localized regions…they will merely shuffle indefinitely based on trade-offs “pros vs cons.” From human history and “civilization” empires have always stayed localized as well as extended far beyond their borders “regionally” huge reason why speciation has a very low probability of occurring within homo-sapiens we love to go around Fing with other people as well as sexy sexy time…
@@annnee6818I do agree with Einstein on that, but to add more to what he said…it cycles back around and repeats itself all over again. “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme,” you’ve probably heard that quote before. Looking at the overall events of documented human history, civilizations always seem to follow a very nasty cyclic model…kind of makes me ponder…that fatty fleshy goop of a meat sack in-between our skulls has a huge limiter hardwired and programmed within our DNA to be just what we are…humans tied to this planet, and not independent nor anymore special than any creature on it. 😂 that may upset some people that believe “we’re special,” but in actuality we’re rather mundane.

@Bhante China and Russia have killed Globalization
Hahahahaha
Globalization is a recycled term as Patrick mentioned. Literally the same term used prior to the panic 1873 and again during the 1920's leading to the 1929 bust.
Other terms used have been colonialism. And such colonialism goes back further than the triangle trade of the 1600 and 1700's.
But you can go back to even prior to antiquity of Greece and later Rome. Going back to classical era of Greek city states culminating in doom for various empires in the great bronze age collapse.
Essentially, it almost always included slavery or a form of feudal like structures. Very few actually benefited from it directly or even indirectly. And such economies always boom and fell apart in a great bust.
The term is too gity without looking at the fundamental problems; generally it uses exploited labors either slave, feudal peasantry, or a tyrannized repressive dictator or oligarchy of some sort or another that gives way to what I've coined inauthentic comparative advantage. Lots of other subsidies also come into play as well; where producers receive tax money to offset costs for other inputs beyond labor costs. As well as operating costs like shipping and inventory; distribution costs often get a hefty subsidy by the taxes of the nation.
So the costs are not actually lower, but subsidized by desperate, suppressed, enslaved, and tax funded other non-labor inputs and distribution.
The quality is worse, but the price is more attractive and floods the market forcing better expertise quality makers to go bust. Price wars we see with oligopolies and monopolies.
And in the end you have a late stage where only a few getting the benefits.
Supply chains get idiotic as pretzel like zig zag of various stages of goods making require even further fuels to move the inputs and sub assemblies and final assemblies then various retail.
All this sourcing from all over the place takes more energy which costs more. But this excess cost, yet again, gets offset by either direct subsidies for those purposes of transportation and/or by the other subsidies of inputs via tax money and suppressed labor wages; that the extra cost on energy is offset by the low or no wages being paid and the inputs being mostly paid by the colonial country.
And often these pretzel like supply chains lead to a collapse along with the fact it leaves very few able to consume the goods and services because everyone falls in wage/salaries toward the suppressed labor; aggregate demand falls. It's probably why hyper inflation didn't immediately come out of the massive QE that was being done by many countries after the 2010's following the bank bust and massive bail out to the financial sector. Wages stayed low, and businesses were very scared to grow very much knowing that very few, the top 20% were really left being able to purchase the vast majority of the goods and services being supplied to the market.
Between the inefficient supply chain that becomes fragile when ultimately resentment takes place and war happens, financial disasters take place as the top 20% can't hold an economy together with massive suppression toward the bottom 80%, and often to placate the 80% in less suppressive nations, these countries often under go wars of conquest or civil war.
And it all falls apart.
It's moronic.
Trade is good.
But label all trade as good is dumb.
Some trade is bad.
Authentic comparative advantage is a key to figure out what type of trade is good, and which type is actually harmful over time.
If the country in question has more of resource than other countries, it's a good trade. An authentic comparative advantage.
If a country has expertise that's better than another, than its a good trade.
Actual quality and or abundance of good or service.
If it's forced via slave labor or otherwise suppressed labor or gigantic subsidies this constitutes an inauthentic comparative advantage that will put those with better expertise out of business lowering quality, as well as driving supply chains into idiot spaghetti, and all nations fall in equilibrium as aggregate demand falls. The remaining 20% or the top 10% simply don't need 1 billion toasters or 1 billion ovens or 1 billion massaches etc. Instead you're left with great resentment among the less suppressed nations, and even of the tyrannical nations, they tend to realize the gigs up and start abandoning the late stage colonialism/globalism; which becomes very dangerous as supply chains are all over the place due to the inauthentic comparative advantage described.
It's idiotic.
Since recorded history, over and over, this type of bad trade keeps popping up, because it does give a quick boost to economic boom. But it always goes bust because it's unsustainable. It only really helps the top 20%, and eventually maybe only the top 10%... until it helps nobody.
Do you have any resources you'd point to or recommend to read more from this perspective?
A lot of that QE went to service student loans, auto loans and mortgages. When people have debt and their income is disrupted, giving them money just keeps them treading water.
"Trade increased countries resilience during the pandemic." Everyone remembers the miles and miles of backed up ships, sitting offshore, doing nothing. The empty shelves, high prices, and resultant panic buying of staples. The electronics shortage with follow-on effect in other markets (like automobiles). That was caused by the *ceasing* of reliable international trade. It exposed the fragility and untrustworthiness of complex global systems of production and distribution that rely on predictably good conditions. If that system is interrupted, a lot failed because there were no other closer or domestic options.
Good points. This is the weakness of globalization. The trend away from mercantilism (domestic production) and toward globalization/outsourcing lasted about fifty or sixty years. At this point, the love affair with globalization has run its course.
and now theres no ships sitting idle, shelves are full, and prices higher than ever 🤣🤣🤣

Such insightful and informative content. I love watching your videos on topics such as these. Here's a comment for the algorithm!
Thank you for this comprehensive look at deglobalization. I've been trying to wrap my head around its possible consequences, and this video really helped to get informed on the topic.
Policies as a response to public sentiment? That's a good one. As if trade barriers in the US were created to mollify US unemployed workers as opposed to economic incentives of majority stakeholders in the political parties fund providers.
Public sentiment is manipulated to conform to elite-sponsored policies, not the other way around...
I think Peter Zeihan's "The End of the World Is Just the Beginning" presents a pretty comprehensive explanation as to why globalisation is ending. It also takes geopolitics and demographics into account, not just economics
Yep, I really like Peter Zeihan's daily videos. I enjoy his insight on Russia and China. When people talk about China invading Taiwan, I like to quote him, "You can walk from Moscow to Kiev, you can't walk from Beijing to Taipei". And NO, this is not one of those spam chains of comments about someone who does stock picks. Zeihan does not recommend stocks, ever.
I like Peter also. I've lived through globalization's birth and now its retreat. I did a lot of research hoping to prove to myself that deglobalization wasn't happening. I couldn't. My grandchildren aren't going to enjoy the benefits I had by growing up in a more peaceful world. I've been following China for decades. It's collapsing - possibly more slowly than Peter believes (I hope), but for the umpteenth time in China's history, it may go through the same cycle of splitting apart into a few warring pieces, civil war and famine. Big difference this time is that at least one of those mini-Chinas will have nukes. Imagine Mao with nukes. Chills...
Damn, good job on the lighting and color correction. This is the best looking shot I’ve seen on this channel. F’ing nailed it. IMO, make this the reference for the NFT art ;)
Smart trade that benefits both parties is good. Bad trade is bad. Globablization has allowed for good trade and bad trade. Maybe we need to consider it as changing how we do business as a whole, rather than everyone screaming we're obliterating our economy.
I have used that powerpoint background you used for the Phases. But this is so cool.
Thanks Patrick for this thorough and balanced overview of the global trade issue. As the conflict between the Chinese Party State and the US National Security state grows overviews such as your data filled approach are more critical to understanding the case. Neither side favors a free flow of critical political analysis . This makes economic analysis what we have. However, such political issues as national debt, the current trade account and the currency and chip wars and the rise of Chinese power are driving much of the urge to decouple. Since divorce between China and the US is unlikely there 's a bizarre situation developing of increased trade dependence and increased distancing between the political elites of the two countries.
It's like watching conjoined twins who hate each other.

Globalization? More like privatization!
Really, globalization has been extremely "one-sided" in almost all aspects. It made the entire world into one big business, one big company, where everything was funneled to Europe and America.
Not to mention the cultural effects it also had, with now people also being funneled to Europe and America.
In both cases, the common consensus seems to be that people are entitle in AND to Europe and America. Meaning that people there are privileged and that anybody on Earth can and should just move there and become such too. Do not fix anything back at home, keep diverting the resources away, leave, leave, leave.
All these developing nations lose all their smart people who leave for first-world countries. No smart people left = Only stupid people left = Pointless conflicts.
And guess what: People from Europe and America won't be moving where others are coming from. It's not a "shuffle", it's just a hoard and abandonment of people. Immigration is one-way, one-sided and it's ruining so much of the world as nobody stays OR comes to fix jackshit. So people just leave.
Thanks for providing yet another extremely interesting and insightful analysis.

Hola, llevo poco tiempo viendo tu contenido y el de alguno otros youtubers (didn't use to): encuentro tu voz pasiva muy agradable, tus opiniones bien fundamentadas y realmente interesantes los temas que abordas. I took the liberty to writte in spanish because I share your conclusion about globalization; it is not just about economics in a wider sense but the repercusion in micro economical relations on a wider societal level. Anyway, thanks for doing this
Great video
I always get excited when I see you have dropped a new one
If globalization is genuinely a good thing, it will stick around. Trade is undoubtedly good for nations. It allows for specialization & improvements of productivity, while outsourcing allows for reduction in risk. However trade also puts nations in a state of mutual reliance, which is not a favourable state even among Allied nations when differences in domestic policy start to play out. Trade without friction turns every industry into a global race to the bottom, disenfranchising existing labour while exploiting underdeveloped labour. It’s essentially all the worst parts of colonialism without the explicit racism.
It reduces nations to economic zones and people to economic units
Globalisation and trade between countries leads to mutual reliance and peace, Europe in the inter war period led to, tariffs, trade wars, distrust, nationisation, and land grabs, and finally a war, seems a little familiar now
Y'know what else globalism contributes to?
Invasive species wrecking ecosystems.
Here in the Midwest, we are having a crisis due to Asian Emerald Ash Borer beetles. We will eventually lose almost all our Ash trees in a decade😢
Oh and then there was that novel 'bug' that China exported in late 2019 that spread shockingly fast worldwide... I can only guess that didn't start WW3 because of trade reliance
lets not get ahead of our selves while globalization might have alot of the worst parts of colonialism it also has all the best ones like bringing techonoligy and food security to most of the world. From 1959 to 1961 china had a famine that killed tens of millions of people. that kind of thing simply wasnt uncommon before it was possible to import enough food for millons of people from thousands of kms away. Its impossible to calculate how many likely 100s of millions of lives have been saved by medicine and food transport being globally available which simply wouldn't have been the case without some level of colonization and later globalization. Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad unfortunately
What will remain is a large quantity of broken industries. In the Netherlands, for instance, is not clothing industry any more. All production went to low wages countries. In the old days we had linnen and wool. And also almost all electronics production left too, computers and TV's are no longer produced, same this as everywhere. There is only one British computer manufacturer still in business the rest of Europe is dead on this point. Knowledge went missing, if productions should be restarted here is nobody with experience. Food production went to Eastern Europe and there is no possibility to renew this locally. It is impossible to compete with the giants that make the decisions.
Globalization involves much more than trade. The backlash against the growth of international regulation arising from trading nations like Europe increasing their dominance by legislating extreme requirements for "environmental" compliance in manufactured items. European nations like Germany influence the UN and other international agencies to promote conventions that force other nations to comply with US and Europe's extreme and often absurd requirements. Does a tractor driven in Australia have to comply with environmental restrictions relevant to Germany. Yes, despite their being absurd these expensive, unreliable and unwanted European restrictions are applied universally throughout the Western World. This killed manufacturing in other nations and often forced manufacturers of many machines and equipment out of business.
The manipulation of globalization for the benefit of Europe and the USA is the real problem area.
The time has come for other nations to opt out of the ever tightening noose of Euro/US demands and regulation.
Really? Because many in the West take entirely the opposite point of view, seeing many blue and white collar jobs being off shored, to "wherever the rice grows cheapest" And surely a tractor driven in Australia has to comply with Australian regulations, how would the EU be able to dictate regulations to other countries? How can a regulation be unreliable?
couldnt agree more with this take
@@knightsnight5929 I don't really agree too hard with the first post. But the EU does have a lot of sway because their market is so large that if you want to make money you need to follow their regulations no matter how nonsensical it is. Because making two products for different regions makes no sense companies will default to the highest regulation between the nations they sell within. Which tends to be the EU regulating stuff that adds more pollution by causing you to need to toss your computers out faster and the likes.
I like your delivery of facts. Im going to keep my eyes on you great work.
Stopping global trade is like stopping the sea with your hands. Impossible as long as companies and consumers are looking for the lowest cost products and services. I have seen many trade sanctions in the last 30 some years as results of several trade wars and they all died except global trade. China has been buying ports like they're going out of style. Their port-folio has grown so much. It is as you stated, a slow down only. Awesome video.
Lol. Umm no global trade didn’t exist hardly except after the Brenton wood act when the USA government guaranteed safe trade. That time is over. Listen to Peter zeihan.
The prospect of a cold war with China exposed how vulnerable the US is and is driving this trend, not economics.
@@rogerbritus9378 the U.S.A. is already in a Cold War and a trade war with China that will last 30 years or so until one of the 2 establishes its leadership of the world. With all its internal and external economic issues, so far the USA is winning both wars. Until China has a USD equivalent, a Wall Street and a Silicon Valley, it will remain at a disadvantage in spite of its >$3 trillion foreign currency reserves of USDs and EURs.
You ignore the precarious nature much of global trade is built upon, global rules, maritime security, trust in others, a somewhat naive notion that economic relations guarantees peace. Over populated countries that aren't resource self sufficient & can't protect their trade networks, in conjunction with allies, are the most vulnerable.
@@assertivekarma1909 if you read global trade agreements carefully, you will notice that many global rules and clauses are ignored until score settling between signatory nations becomes important.

In 2006, China passed a labor law for overseas interests that, among other things, an employee couldn’t be fired, once hired, and their first performance reviews come after 15 years on the floor. So cheap labor, bye bye…. This is all you need to know about US/China relations.
Love your use of photos. Howard Marks first one, classic.
Mid sized and small towns here in Ohio have suffered with globalization. Places like Dayton, Springfield, Toledo, Youngstown. They all are stable, but not really growing and have drug and other crime rates above the national average. In some ways they resemble what China used to look like before 1990. Vacant store fronts, empty factories, potholes. Ohio has a great higher education infrastructure. Hopefully, companies will realize Ohio is ripe for reshoring. (Let's not even talk about Detroit.)
That's probably more due to the general failure of American capitalism. The USA as a whole suffers from very low infrastructure spending and very bad performance in almost every health and wellbeing metric. I saw a maternal mortality stat for 100000 live births in the USA 24 women die while in the UK even with their healthcare system on the verge of collapse and suffering from years of neglect it's only 6.8. Even ultra rural Australia is only around 5.
I think it's always good to highlight what might be beneficial for an economy as a whole will still have those who it is detrimental to. If most people are winners but a few are losers it's still going to be a win overall. I think this is what is often missed in the immigration debate as much as it is for offshoring, something I don't think some progressives understand.
@kaymish6178 lol what. I need to see those stats and studies (not because i doubt your stat or honesty. I highly doubt the study. What variables and factors are at play? It just doesn't meet the good study sniff test)
And where are you and where do people(globally) go for a specific best in the world medical treatment or surgery? Overwhelmingly you will be pointed to America. That's a huge reason our Healthcare will always remain at high cost.
And low infrastructure spending relative to area and city space of course we will. Our country is 100x the size and people are 10000x more spread out. In America we factor in a diminishing return metric when applying infrastructure and public transport etc. It just won't affect a huge number of people outside of the urban dense city centers. Meaning per dollar, the affect of infrastructure spending is minimal when looking at people affected by it.
@@kaighSea it's not a hard study to do. Take the number of women who die in child birth and divide by 100000 its a basic government statistic. And I cant believe you are trotting out that tired old line of the USA being too big. Lets take Australia again. About the same size as the USA with a fraction of the population and wealth, but still manages to do better.
@@kaymish6178 no, the rust belts decline lines up with a rise in globalization.
What a ham handed attempt to insert your agenda.....
There is one comment to be made about the immigration into Germany. While Germany has absorbed a huge amount of refugees, compared to it's size and population, only very few of those (around 20%) have been integrated into the labour market. In fact Germany has massive problems with finding workers in almost all sectors of it's economy, resulting in millions of open jobs.
Globalism, die?
Would that we could be that lucky.
I work in the service industry, servicing household name franchises across the country. The logistics chains are struggling still.
Most of the vendors we use barely answer the phone, and rarely have decent stock.
Patrick... Thanks for making the global economic noise palletable.
Globalization was dependent on Europeans and the Untied States being able to buy cheap goods made by people earning less than $3/day for 10 hour day. Once we ran out of those things were going to go south.
The other thing is that "just in time" manufacturing really meant "no back up plan" manufacturing.
As someone who is not part of the "global community" (North America, Europe, Japan Korea), globalization is not so fantastic, the dollar is expensive destroying the local economy, I don't earn in dollars but everything is in dollar...I'm sure that the millionaires who work with export and import is all wonderful...but for rest have to do in $1h, 13% interest, and less job opportunity's
As a Latinamerican, I don't even want to imagine the level of interventionism on domestic affairs that the US will want to impose on their "friendshoring" countries.
My first thought "you mean western imperialism is coming to an end", but they have to be coy for obvious reasons. I hope China boxes the US out in war games in Latin America.

Honestly, I think globalization isn't going anywhere, but there will definitely be a change in how global trade and relations are being done.
Patrick you yourself have already put out several videos detailing the woes of China. There is no way in any shape or form China will continue on being the 2nd highest economy GDP in the world with most of it's current manufacturer capabilities. There are so many Geopolitical reasons why but even if everything solidly went their way; their Demographics alone dooms their economy. Their workforce is rapidly aging out. The status quo will not last forever.
Assumptions that we've made during the Globalized era need to be rewritten or else reality will write them for you. And yes to your point the world won't fully "Deglobalize" but rather trade will devolve into trading blocs of countries with like minded ideals. The entire phenomena of Globalization was kept by the implicit promise of safe oceans for trade by the US Navy during the Cold War. That's no longer the case. There are already oil tankers getting hijacked in the Middle East. The US is pulling out of that security guarantee. You guys need to watch some of Peter Zeihan's work to balance your view out on this topic.
Congratulations for the excellent presentation, Patrick! Keep up the good work. All the best from Bucharest. 👍
Diversification is the key. Reliance on a single source is (of course) the major problem. No one is lobbying for a global form of Brexit.

Yeah pandemics was quite the wake up call and a disaster for going all in on it without a backup.
Glad you’re on the mend Damien ❤
A point that works in favor of globalization is consumer expectations: price, quality, variety. It's not easy to go back to fewer, worse, more expensive options, make do with whatever is locally available.
N But when the policy of your state depends on the supplier of goods, this is more annoying. Russia supplied a lot of resources and used it to put pressure on Europe.

2. Taking newspaper articles as a credible source of information is unforgivably naive in this day and age.

As I sit here in north east Syria eating my Costa Rica bananas I'm thinking of the webinar I took part in back in April 2020, with Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport International, where I offered my opinions on risk mitigation and that companies need to diversify their Supply Chains. I suggested that this was a 're-globalisation' process, as oppossed to de-globalisation. Similar to what you have said in your excellent video here. A realignment is taking place, towards countries that are (relatively) politically stable and have both decent infrastructure and large work force to cater for new production facilities. Indonesia is a case in point.
Could be here all day but to summarise, but back in the early days of the covid crisis I was trying to explain that PPE, for example, and other medical items were all available outside of China. Many NGOs have known this for a long time as we cant wait for the commercial world to change, we dont have time. So we do far more research into emergency goods than others. Might be worth looking at humanitarian & emergency trends too as they might shine a light on countries that otherwise will receive little to no notice.
Are you syrian?
Are you Syrian ? What are you doing in NE Syria
Globalisation will always be a thing, we don't want to mine aluminum, lithium, or other tedious things, other countries can't make our superconductors, except Vietnam and Taiwan
I can't get enough of your videos Patrick. The history of the world is colipases of old and beginnings of new systems. "Globalization" as we have been doing it over the last few decades was always going to be a profitable fad up until global labor arbitrage benefits no longer offset transportation costs and investment risk tolerance in politically unstable partners. Regional trade blocs will emerge and thrive with the largest regional economy anchoring these spheres of economic influence. The US has 2 very important neighbors who will ensure that the next fad will not crash its economy. In the North, Canada is a natural resource centric trading partner. In the South Mexico provides a very attractive local labor arbitrage partner. Eastern Europe will slowly shift the EU's Western European weighted influence with Western Europe becoming this century's Sick Man of Europe (the dependency ratio tipping points of these countries are already upon them). China and Russia will continue to shoot themselves in the foot of world diplomacy during this evolution. An EU-like union is a good possibility between Japan, Philippines, Aus/NZ and South Korea to counterbalance China if they pivot from their antagonistic current policies and attract healthy trading bloc members. India has a much better chance of success at this and has positioned themselves in a much stronger diplomatic place for it. Finally Africa and South America are up for grabs. South Africa and Brazil are the favorites but both of these countries have huge hurdles to overcome internally before they can move the needle as a regional trading giant. Gonna be fun to watch.
Why does everyone think South Africa is going to become so powerful, they are plagued with just as much instability and problems as other parts of sub-saharan Africa. They have progressively gotten poorer and poorer as time goes on, their infrastructure is collapsing, and their cohesion as a society is troubled at best. Nigeria, Ethiopia, and a few others are in much better situations imo.
Eastern Europe is literally older than Western Europe. Western Europe has immigrants, while Eastern Europe has done their best to stop them. Countries like Poland are getting old quick.
They also have the whole "final solution" problems down there. Lots of hurdles to jump.
@@macicoinc9363 it's turned into a complete shithole since the natives took charge
For the foreseeable future I don't really agree with your assessment that globalization is a 'fad' though because fads imply a lack of innate qualities or advantages. Globalization is heavily rooted in the concepts of competitive advantage and specialization and globalized economies *will* always be more productive than regional trade blocs or similar. I'm not entirely sure if globalization will ever come back but I don't doubt people will try for it again in the future.
Thank you very much Patrick
Globalization was always a flawed concept, based on Francis Fukiyama's idea that the end of the Cold War meant the "end of history".
Globalization assumes that the will of the international ruling class can be imposed on nations and peoples. We expect mass unrest over the next decade because many people have seen the future being imposed on them and they don't like it.
There will always be international trade, but IF a nation is governed by patriots, it'll ensure that has a manufacturing base. That's a big IF in the US because it appears our ruling class are globalists who are more than willing to strip-mine the country if it means they can buy a bigger superyacht.
>Francis Fukiyama's idea that the end of the Cold War meant the "end of history".
Let me guess. You never read the book and have no idea what he meant by that statement
@@Poctyk well he revised his original thesis, acknowledging that challenges to liberal democracy persist.
Don't place to much hope on South Africa within BRICS as a major player, in reality its a basket case as its circling the drain very quickly due to debilitating corruption in ALL state enterprises, right now South Africa can barely keep a household light on, the corruption within the state energy sector is going to destroy the country economically, the blackouts will force foreign corporations to leave the country, ALL industrial sectors suffer extensively from blackouts, so yes the circling around the drain is speeding up at a furious pace.
I think, while this is a first rate analysis of the data to date it assumes that United States will continue to guarantee the security of global trade with our navy. What happens if it is made clear that the United States will no longer protect global trade or decides to become an aggressor in disruption of global trade.
Love you Patrick!
Thank you
I think globalization just like any other market structure has peaked and is now getting into the business cycle of highs and lows experienced by other business systems.
Thanks Patrick for your detailed videos , as a Trader I appreciate your effort and skill.
It’s really all about GREED, Patrick. Prior to globalization, gadgets still were made & sold. The manufacturer still became wealthy, were his gadgets well-made & priced ( and, most critically, his LOCAL workforce usually made a LIVING WAGE)….
All of my friends’ fathers worked in factory jobs. ALL supported an average family size of 6 on that one salary-which included 2 cars & an annual family vacation….The ONLY differences: workers & factories were located in the U.S. (in towns where the owners lived, themselves, and couldn’t get away with paying slave labor wages to ppl they never would see)….
“Lifting out of poverty” ppl in far-away places (by paying them chump change) may ease the consciences of unscrupulous scoundrels-but “globalization” has DAMAGED the quality of life for the vast majority of people living in the West in ways that only those who remember how it “used to be” could possibly understand ….It’s about GREED. Pure & simple.
How about safety of international shipping lines? Especially with US withdrawing from Middle East or some state actors interested in disrupting shipping. How viable shipping every nut and bolt around the planet would be, if insurance costs went up drastically?
Another machine gun delivery of more information than I can absorb in one viewing. So I will watch/listen again. Much appreciated.
Yes! Watching Japan next x
But Corporatism isnt....Globalization has peaked and is now Entrenched in the system, or at least the Ideology is. Its simply reinventing itself under another name

Globalization will never end for infinite reasons, it could certainly cease for some products or decrease for others. but one way or another the world will remain interconnected. However, one thing that has already profoundly changed, which perhaps is not talked about enough, is the profound distrust between countries; in this sense, decoupling has already taken place and is constantly expanding.
Russia did not stop providing gas and oil to Europe if you recall. Europe refused to import it from Russia like a toddler throwing a fit and threatening to cut off its nose to spite the face. Then the US blew up the Nordstream to make sure Europe does not change its mind.
Perhaps he was referring to the “maintenance” Russia had to complete before they would agree to restore full gas delivery to EU countries. They had a fit over some machinery that was being held in Canada, but, even after receiving said machinery, still stalled and refused to provide gas. They did it to themselves. Unless you are Russian. Then, of course, it is everyone else’s fault.
@@joycelynnelobert8779 Russia was using the turbine maintenance for political leverage, reducing the amount of gas (understandably) as the Satanic West ramped-up their open proxy war against Russia, but Russia never fully cut off the supply. And it was the CIA who blew up the Nordstream pipelines to force Germany to sever all economic relations with Russia. With friends like the US, who the fvck needs enemies.
Russia blew up NS so it was able to cut Europe from gas, as it threatened, but without paying penalty for breach of contract.
Nice drop in there of the legend, Mr. Nice
Replacing "cheapest and easiest" with "safest and surest" makes sense, but a lot of green solutions to manufacturing are also safer and surer than their fossil fuel counterparts. For example, when it comes to electricity generation, coal and oil are only safe and sure if your country is an exporter of those resources, but the wind blows and the sun shines just about everywhere and nuclear doesn't need nearly as much fuel as any fossil fuel, so energy generation switching to greener sources would make most countries more secure, not less.
Russia also got kicked out of Swift, the global payment system.
Americans also traded expensive but well made goods that last long for cheap goods that are made overseas that don't last as long.
Meters and litres anyone?
Speaking on outsourcing, how is illegal immigration similar to outsourcing for location dependent businesses?
The idea that trade would bring dictatorship countries into democracy has been proven to be wrong, we must limit the trade we give these countries. Contracting mining or other environmentally troublesome activities to poor countries just exports problems and makes them worse. Trade is good, but it must be done with similar care we expect our own country to give the environment, people and other life. Getting something cheaper from a country prepared to violate these values is still us violating our own values. We have benefited from these compromised values for too long. We must put security/global stability, the environment and humans rights centre stage.
Wow, that's exactly what Peter Zeihan keeps saying. I was on the fence about him, seems like he is correct about this one.
What patrick said is almost opposite to zeihan. Zeihan basically sees a sandwich and calles it two slices of bread. Patrick opens it up.
@@kth6736 can you provide actual reasons for your statement?
Yep, Peter is a bit dramatic but big picture i think he is very good at predicting long term trends.
