I wonder if there are any predictors of who will do better when things destabilize, for example does vertical integration provide a strong advantage? If so what is the tipping point, how much vertical integration is needed?

Yes, the author focuses on a possible shortage of resources as the cause of the problem, but the Forester effect certainly played a decisive role in the case of the chip shortage.
Anyway, we live in a very fragile civilization, and we have to shorten the supply chains or we will have big problems in the future.

#5It's the bad political decisions like the stimulus checks and the "too big to fail" bailouts. This article makes it sound like it's tied to climate change??? Wow. I don't doubt it's happening, I'm just saying we can clearly see inflation occurring in real time for anyone that is paying attention. Dare I say, this is a desired outcome for those in power, but that is just speculation.
