The World Economic Forum made waves recently with a bold take: globalization is finished. Meanwhile, they're betting big on US growth in the coming years.

But here's the thing—plenty of people aren't buying it. The narrative doesn't land cleanly when you look at capital flows, trade patterns, and how interconnected markets actually operate. Some argue we're seeing fragmentation, sure, but others point out that reshoring and regional trade blocs still depend on global supply chains.

It's that classic case where the headline oversimplifies the reality. Economic trends rarely move in straight lines, and betting your entire thesis on "the end of globalization" might miss what's actually happening underneath.
