That's according to Frederick Kempe, CEO of foreign policy think tank Atlantic Council, and it is a fear he says more CEOs of major corporations are focused on today.
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon recently warned, “This may be the most dangerous time the world has seen in decades.”According to Kempe, that's a feeling shared in many corporate boardrooms.
The last three major inflection points in history were World War I, World War II, and the Cold War, and now the tensions and risks are higher than ever.
Kempe believes it's up to the United States to ensure the global system stays intact.
He cited how the choices made by the U.S. after World War I led to isolationism, the Holocaust, and millions of deaths, while the nation "got it right" after World War II, resulting in international institutions like the United Nations and NATO.
