Über diesen Titel

A fascinating, eye-opening, and often shocking look at what lies ahead for the United States—and the world—from one of our most incisive futurists

George Friedman has become a leading expert in geopolitical forecasting, sought after for his unmatched grasp of both historical and contemporary trends. In The Next 100 Years, Friedman turns his eye to the future. Drawing on a profound understanding of geopolitical patterns dating back to the Roman Empire, he shows that we are now, for the first time in half a millennium, experiencing the dawn of a new historical cycle.

Friedman predicts that the US–Jihadist war will conclude, to be replaced by a second confrontation with Russia; China will undergo a major internal crisis, and Mexico will emerge as an important world power; there will be at least one global war, but armies will be smaller and wars less deadly; and technology will focus on space, both for military uses and for energy.

This book is a compelling, eye-opening portrait of the future.

Kritikerstimmen

“William Hughes captures the author’s informal tone as well as his obvious intelligence and perception. As he narrates, the listener watches the coming years unfold like an interstellar adventure movie…Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

“Expect the unexpected…He can see without the crystal ball.”

“Predictions have made George Friedman a hot property these days.”

“There is a temptation, when you are around George Friedman, to treat him like a Magic 8-Ball.”

“Barron’s consistently has found Stratfor’s insights informative and largely on the money—as has the company’s large client base, which ranges from corporations to media outlets and government agencies.”

“[Friedman] delivers a clearer, deeper, and subtler understanding of the post-9/11 world than we will ever get from listening to the cacophony of talking heads on television.”

“[A] unique combination of cold-eyed realism and boldly confident fortune-telling…Whether all of the visions in Friedman’s crystal ball actually materialize, they certainly make for engrossing entertainment.”

It speaks to the impossibility of the task to predict 100 years into the future that many of the predictions are already outdated a mere 10 years later. Handwaving away Russia and especially China is almost criminal, as well as saying climate change will take care of itself (by 2050 we will be well into climate change). no mention of AI, Homo Deus etc. Not even considering the fall of nation States and thinking that "land"will still hold the highest importance, instead of cyber space. No hacker attacks as a military strategy by otherwise smaller States and the possible end of senecens is also just a "wild card" to this book.
It is an interesting take on things but shouldn't be taken as more than science fiction in a weird format.

Already outdated

I regret that I bought that book. Don’t agree that Turkey will be the big player of 21 century. Half of the book is about that every country need immigrants urgently. Don’t agree on that! Won’t there be any government considering promoting new children in white states instead of massimmigration? Come on human intelligence and thinking would be completely lost…

Waste of time
