Four crucial factors determine economic growth and progress: money, energy, labor, and transport—or “MELT.”

Drawing on the work of author Peter Zeihan, Dan Sullivan explains how MELT costs will impact on all countries' progress during this 30-year period from 2020 to 2050 and why the United States is uniquely positioned to become a platform for the best MELT breakthroughs. American innovators and entrepreneurs will lead the way in creating extraordinary MELT opportunities.

The great thinker-commentator on all things geopolitical in the world, Peter Zeihan, explains in four remarkable books why and how the “global economy” since 1945 is coming to an end. In his book The End Of The World Is Just the Beginning, he shows that one simple, useful indicator of the direction of economic performance in any market or industry is the combined, interactive costs of Money, Energy, Labor, and Transport—or “MELT.”

When the cost of the four MELT factors goes up, progress goes down. I call it “The Great Meltdown.” This short book describes how the entire world is already experiencing a worldwide “Meltdown” in which bad news of high costs of money, energy, labor, and transport for others can be good news for your entrepreneurial future over the next 30 years.
