🧠 The World’s Manufacturing Giants Are Crumbling

Free trade is collapsing — and now even the biggest players are paying the price.

This week, we dug into two seismic shifts that are reshaping the global economy faster than most people realize:

Germany — once the powerhouse of Europe — is watching its car industry fall apart. Decades of cheap Russian energy, open global markets, and stable demand are gone. Now, Berlin is scrambling to save what's left… and running out of time.

Meanwhile, China’s position as the world’s factory is cracking. Trump’s tariffs were just the beginning. Now, with companies fleeing, reshoring accelerating, and a global backlash brewing, Beijing faces a future it thought it could avoid — a world where China is no longer the center of manufacturing.

The global map is being redrawn — and America's the one holding the pen.
