George Friedman, founder of Stratfor, has become a leading expert in geopolitical forecasting, sought after for his thoughtful assessments of current trends and near-future events.

In The Next 100 Years, Friedman turns his eye on the future. Drawing on a profound understanding of history and geopolitical patterns dating back to the Roman Empire, he shows that we are now, for the first time in half a millennium, experiencing the dawn of a new historical cycle.

Critic reviews

"A unique combination of cold-eyed realism and boldly confident fortune-telling....Whether all of the visions in Friedman's crystal ball actually materialize, they certainly make for engrossing entertainment." ( Publishers Weekly)

Excellent knowledge of his topic and exceptional understanding of geopolitics. If you are looking for an unbiased analysis of the facts and driving forces that shape the world, this is the book you need. Truely fantastic read.

I love this book not because of the predictions or projections of the world of geopolitics in the next 100 years, but that Friedman is bold enough to make them. In fact, I disagree with a great many of his forecasts, but I congratulate him on writing the book to compel me to consider what I believe are more likely scenarios, and therefore I give this book a high recommendation for its power to generate critical thinking on the part of the reader. For this book is a stimulus to sit and write down a counterpoint to items in which I strongly disagree, and more importantly "the why."
