About This Book
The Fractured Age (2025) argues that globalization isn’t ending – instead, it’s transforming into distinct economic regions that will reshape everything from trade routes to technology standards over the next decade. The analysis reveals how geopolitical tensions have turned economic tools into weapons, forcing companies and countries to accept higher costs and fewer choices as the price of alignment.
