In the wake of 2008 and 2016, the conflicts over finite resources reached a new level since zero-sum competition for the accumulation of sovereignty roared into the open. The peculiar economic system which reappeared, what Naomi Klein calls disaster capitalism, spread through the tax write-downs, lockdowns and shutdowns of the COVID-19 Pandemic and its attendant financial handouts to global pharmaceutical corporations from taxpayer coffers. Both the problem of inflation and the collapse of supply chains that were brought about by the pandemic were exacerbated soon after COVID restrictions started loosening, as Russia invaded mainland Ukraine in 2022. Building on trajectories set after the GFC, political economies rapidly switched from neoliberalism to Autarky part 2: Neo-Mercantilism. In its wake, the zero-sum Climate Change crisis of the Anthropocene is quickly entangling the entirety of humanity in yet another Cold War II and threatens to cast it in a global hot conflict on land and sea between Thalassocracy and Tellurocracy.
