Market Cycles No. 3 – United States Sunbelt: A Long-Term Structural Reading

This monograph analyses the United States Sunbelt as the operational core of the contemporary Western system, understood as a macro-regional energy, industrial and logistical platform embedded in long technological waves and civilisational cycles. The study examines the 2026–2040 transition period through structural analysis integrating demographic dynamics, energy systems, industrial reconfiguration, strategic corridors, and systemic positioning. Rather than short-term forecasting, the Market Cycles framework identifies structural constraints conditioning capital allocation, infrastructural resilience, and the capacity to maintain continuity of critical flows under conditions of geopolitical and environmental stress. This publication forms part of the Market Cycles Research Program, a multi-volume comparative study of long-term macro-regional economic transformations.
