It could be that one result of the current crisis will be the end of globalization. Countries are now beginning to regret not producing necessary items themselves. People have begun to blame other countries for shortages. Are we seeing the end of an interconnected world? Will we return to small nations doing their own thing? Will China break up? Will America? Will we see the end of the EU?
Will we still be able to get our hands on products from other countries? Where will we get our smartphones or French cheese? Will international companies simply go bankrupt? Will the new situation lead to wars?
Or do you see the trend reversing and think that we will soon have a world government? Maybe the global companies themselves will form governments. Will people live in Amazon or McDonalds?
