Empires were abolished and replaced by a global arrangement enforced by the U.S. Navy. With all the world's oceans safe for the first time in history, markets and resources were made available for everyone. Enemies became partners.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWe think of this system as normal - it is not.

Combined, these factors are doing nothing less than overturning the global system and ushering in a new (dis)order. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eFor most, that is a disaster-in-waiting, but not for the Americans. The shale revolution allows Americans to sidestep an increasingly dangerous energy market. Only the United States boasts a youth population large enough to escape the sucking maw of global aging. Most important, geography will matter more than ever in a de-globalizing world, and America's geography is simply sublime.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Twelve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44894798643429,"sku":"NP9781455583683","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/1aab8b00-171d-461d-9a36-ab1001116cff.jpg?v=1767895133","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-accidental-superpower-isbn-9781455583683","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
