The Next 100 Years

In this book, George Friedman provides a lucid and highly readable forecast of the changes we can expect around the world during the 21st century.

-Jihadist war and its replacement by a second cold war with Russia, a major internal crisis in China, and the emergence of Mexico as an important world power.

Friedman also forecasts a new global war in the middle of the century involving the United States and an unexpected coalition from Eastern Europe, Eurasia, and the Far East.

Additionally, he discusses the focus on space technology for military and energy purposes and predicts a Golden Age for the United States in the second half of the century.
