DENNIS UNKOVIC :

» Early in my career , I worked in the US Senate as legislative counsel to Senator Hugh D Scott . For the past 35 years I have been in private practice with the law firm , Meyer , Unkovic & Scott . I ’ ve appeared in the top 20 of the Best Lawyers in America list for the past 20 years .

» Over the past 35 years I ’ ve travelled to Asia more than one-hundred times , handling international business transactions . Much of this work involved both inbound and outbound foreign direct investment between the US and primarily China and Japan . As time went on , I began to understand these transactions were part of an intertwined network , with many involving the global supply chain . It was this realisation that led to me writing my book .

» That the global supply chain is broken . Many assume the pandemic is the reason for the collapse . It ’ s not . Instead , four trends are largely responsible for the transformations already underway . In the book I describe these as ‘ Max Trends ’.
