Peter Zeihan, a geopolitical analyst, predicts that the globally integrated just-in-time world trade that we've all become accustomed to (for the past 80 years), will devolve into regional (and less connected) trading blocks. Mic, Brian, and Jeff look at three ramifications that the average American might face, if Zeihan is right. One, is pharmaceuticals. China produces 90% of the world's Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients. What happens when that source is cut off, or severely restricted? A second sector is food. While the US can produce most of its food needs, much is imported. Does what you like to eat come from overseas?
