Curator's Notes

Personal insights by JK, COO

The unipolar American moment is ending. What's emerging is a multipolar world with competing economic systems, currencies, and alliances — and businesses must navigate all of them.

💡

Why I Curated This

Diesen provides the academic rigor that complements Zeihan's more accessible style. His analysis of BRICS as a genuine alternative economic system — not just a talking shop — is important for understanding where global commerce is heading. The de-dollarization trend he describes has direct implications for any business with international suppliers or expansion plans.

Key Insights

1

BRICS is building parallel financial infrastructure — alternative to SWIFT, IMF, and World Bank

2

De-dollarization is happening gradually, then suddenly — bilateral trade in local currencies is accelerating

3

The US-Russia-China triangle is the defining geopolitical dynamic — every other conflict is a proxy

4

Multipolarity means businesses must be politically neutral or choose sides — there's no safe middle ground

Who Should Watch

Business leaders, investors, and strategists who need to understand the structural shift in global power. Essential context for anyone making decisions about international markets.
