World Watch

When the world moves, know what reaches your house.

Washington reaches your house through laws. The world reaches it through things — and it arrives two ways: in the prices of what you buy, and the value of what you own. We mapped both, back to the countries and companies they depend on, with the receipts.

153 essential goods · 1,061 inputs · 2,433 companies · 144 countries

On the radar

What’s moving right now.

Events our radar flagged as material — each traced to what it touches and linked to its source. We report relief with the same care as disruption.

What you buy

Every essential good, traced to its source.

Empty shelves in 2020. Gas in 2022. Tariffs in 2025. The 153 goods a household depends on, decomposed into their inputs and the countries, companies, and facilities behind them — so a price shock stops being a surprise.

What you own

Every public company has to say what could break it.

Which customers, which countries, which materials — disclosed to the SEC, under oath, in filings almost nobody reads. We read all of them and tied each one to the same map.

The data

When one country makes almost all of it.

We don’t keep a watchlist — we sweep everything and let the data show where a single country makes most of something your everyday goods are built from. Every figure is cited, and it re-ranks as the data changes.

What you’re looking at

World Watch is built from primary sources — U.S. Census trade data, USGS, EIA, the Federal Register tariff record, and every annual report in the Russell 3000 — decomposed into the goods, inputs, countries, and companies that connect the world to an American household. Every dependency is dated and cited to its source. We report easing with the same care as disruption.
